1. I've been working with computers since I was about 4 or 5. I've done tech support jobs on Macs and PC (less so on Macs) and know rudimentary webdesign. I've done CS courses in C++, I know HTML and CSS, and I'm rather good at working out the kinks in windows. I'm a registry monkey. Otherwise, I have alot of experience with Photoshop, from 5.5 to CS2. I have a Wacom tablet that I use for digital painting. I operate several personal wikis for creative purposes.
2. As mentioned, I already have extensive knowledge of Photoshop and its ins and outs, thus making the GIMP a bit of a step backward for me. However, I have no experience with audio and 3D animation. My main interest is the 3D aspect of the course, as one of my major aspirations is computer game design. I mostly look forward to concept design, but knowledge of modeling and 3D character and environment generation would be a huge help in my designs.
