To the photoshop 7 users

[Zodiac]

to those of you that have experiance with photoshop 7,

sooo, i finally got photoshop 7 and have way too much time to spend, so i thought i would learn some photoshop skills.

i wanted to ask those of you that are skilled with the program, how you got to know those skills? where did you get the tutorials you used, and how much time did it take you to get a working knowladge of the program?

also is there a diffrence between the retail version and the trial?
