Although I would have selected maybe a few other contestants, my choice goes without a second's hesitation to 'Protozoan' by Chuckeye. Bold and unique.

Reply to Weekly Poll: Site Sponsorships in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I Certainly didn't subscribe to get rid of the ads, which where rather discreet and low-profile. Wouldn't mind the sponsoring idea at all except for two things: WHO would be the sponsor (do they already have an interest in customization, digital art, anything related?) and WHAT KIND of power would the deal give said sponsor over Wincustomize or Stardock policies, what kind of leverage would it get to meddle into artistic or business choices? Sponsors sometimes hope for more than image placement.

Or Maybe already dead, who knows... But I have no memory of having eve lived before. Maybe you forget everything you ever experienced in life, once you die. So I could very well never have been born...

Pot, kettle, black!, sir Bichur? I wholeheartedly agree that people asking for info lying just under their noses - or not too far from it are a pain from which you can become sick fast enough. But ignorance because of language/cultural differences miht earn some slack and leniency. If at all possible. ICQ might have been skinner's coded langange, for all I knew. However, I must admit Google search never came to mind. My mistake. Someone should start a olloquialism/slang/pofessionnal speak and a

I actually followed the (well meaning (!)) good advice of sir Bichur.Thanks all, but what I said before holds. Have pity on us poor non-north-americains fot being sometimes lost in translation.

As an afterthought... I am sure that people at Wincustomize and Stardock are aware that their little community's 'citizenship' has grown woldwide. Therefore, and not being an exclusive north-american club (I am french, and had never heard about ICQ until yesterday), it might be profitable for all to cut back on abbreviations and colloquialisms that might be misunderstood or altogether not undersood by the non-anglo citizens of your growing little world. Just an idea. And you're right, RomanDa.

Help, anybody? Just two things: where do I store this ICQ, and is it at all necessary to bother since I don't HAVE a personnal messenger (that I know of). P-S: this is a barely disguised 'Bump', courtesy of Master Brainiac's teachings...

[foOnt="Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"][/font] O Oh, someone read me. Thanks so much Jafo. I'd forgotten how early it is in your part of the world (Here in Paris it's past 4 P-M. Just one more thing, though: A I supposed to store it in the same file than the WB itself, or elsewhere? Thanks again.

Greetings... A very embarassing noob question to whomever cares to answer: I just downloaded IP Brainiac's 'fathom' WindowBlind, whith a whatchamacallit (in fact called ICQ), and I haven't the faintest idea of what it might be, what kind of program opens it (none listed even mentions it) and in what file I should store it. Anyone ready to give a hand, or is it hopeless ? Thanks to all anyway
