Haha. Self-promotion isn't that shameless.
You had to reformat your hard drive? Ugh, what a pain. I've had to do it multiple times, and it's definitely not a fun thing to experience.
I might actually end up checking out your DA. If I ever get around to it. I have a rather bad habit of just putting stuff off until "I have time", which I almost always have (when I'm on this site, at least. lol).
But yeah, hopefully you can get back into Photoshop. It's a really interesting program, once you start getting accustomed to it.
