at least one thing is positive about being unemployed; you've got a lot of time to spend in front of the screen. i'm not sure how many programs i've learned over the years but here's a list of the ones i use today:

macromedia - flash 4 (learning flash 5), dreamweaver 3
adobe - photoshop 5.5, pagemaker 6.5, indesign, imageready
others - quark xpress, swish, xara, nhl 2001

speaks - swedish, english, html, dhtml, flash (flingo)
