Sorry, I haven't been around lately, took a trip to NY. Actually, I don't exactly have time to work with Skinstudio now, I am up to my neck in schoolwork. Jafo, kill this thread please, because when I need help next, I'll know where to look. Thanks guys. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=
How true...The Kazaa software is so highly biased, and if you use it, you need to get a few air holes drilled in your skull, or maybe a knock on the door and a signed document...MUA HAH HAH! ...I know so many people who still do it (13-18 year olds, kids my age) who simply have no respect for anyone else's property. They think "Oh, I can get it for free, why not do it?" That is no reason to steal copyrighted content. I know there is a lot of blab about how using Kazaa is any different from shopl
Do any of our great skinners here have any advice on using Paint Shop Pro? I'm going to do a WindowBlinds skin, and Photoshop was a leetle too expensive for me. Actually, I think the final product could be cool if I could figure out how to create graphics at least worthy of WC. Anything you have to say would be appre
Hah hah... 70. Sorry.
Hmm...You know, you probably could run XP on that. Just disable 70" of the services, turn off Themes, and it might run "sweet as a babys bottom." However, I agree that using it a Linux test box is a good idea, becuase it is a lot less resource hungry than Win9x or XP. A new computer, I think, would be the best option. Besides, with the economny the way it is, you can get something dirt cheap from ABSPC.com or
You can also do boot traces with it. Like, for instance, to find out where the most time is being used in bootup...Just kind of cool. [Message Edited]
I've never heard about that, Raithe. Sounds like some very promising technology. The only downside to retention, I suppose, is that Windows would (naturally) clutter it up very well and then your system slows to a crawl. Isn't the sole reason we reboot our systems now is because there's a problem with something in RAM and we want to totally flush it? My boot time is about 20 seconds for everything, including loading the user. For all you users out there who use XP (doesn't work on NT or 2K), go
Look at Propel Accelerator (Propel.com). This is supposed to accelerate your surf speed by caching and compressing oft-viewed pages. I have heard good things, but I haven't used it myself, becuase I know that nothing and absolutely nothing will boost modem speeds significantly. If you like nitty-gritty stuff, check out TweakMASTER (Tweakmaster.com) or iSpeed (iSpeed.com). They help you fiddle with stuff like MTU, RWIN, and techy stuff that just might make speed go up slightly (certainly NOT 700%
Shame, ChinaCat! This stuff is my life. Legolas, pop over to MonarchComputer.com. You can find a very very tweakable configurator. You could get a barebones system with all the stuff you listed for probably less, and they have quite a selection of other parts too. I don't mean to overly hype this place, but I got my new system a couple months ago and it truly is nice, and just the way I want it (no OS ) Give

Hmm, I never knew that 1280x1024 was supposed to be for TFT screens. Didn't matter much to me, because I like it better anyway on my 19" CRT.
Really? You can do that? Whenever I wanted to kill a docklet I tweaked the Currenttheme.ini file in the OD folder. Well, someones doing it the hard way...
I STILL don't know who UzEE is...
Hee hee, that was a good photo!
Whoa. Thanks for the heads-up. This was sudden, but you can't say it wasn't completely unexpected. I use a lot of Symantec software for maitenance, and I've been waiting for a partition program from them. I hope they don't kill the PartitionMagic line, I like it a lot.
When I was 6, I had an IBM PS/2 Model 25 system. I think it ran at 4Mhz...oh yes, and it had 20MB of hard drive space, which was enormous in '87. Ahh, in those days my Dad messed it up and I had to reinstall the OS. Frankly, I don't think DOS will be stamped out totally for a while, because it is still darn stable. Has DOS ever "crashed" or given you a BSOD? Not here. I'm learning QBasic at school now, and it's like a flashback. Weird... <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/in
So...How old are you now??? 80, 81? I mean, IPlural got such a nice gift for you, why not use it? Fine, my gift is a video of me stuffing my face with chocolate. Anytime you feel hungry, it will make you feel better. Happy Birthday Jafo. Now, with me people...JAFO! JAFO! JAFO! JAFO! JAFO! I'll stop now
Yah, I noticed that. Sorta like a WC board in blog-land. Thanks Frogboy/Draginol. Visit xendre64.joeuser.com.
Thanks, hashonboat. I must try to grab it. I kneel to the Winamp gods daily. However, v3 was garbage. That is why Nullsoft scrapped that line and just started again. Apparently the whole 2+3=5 thing came from taking v3's sweeter interface (and it was nice) and combining in with v2's feature set. Ooh, I can't wait 'till beta time! <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?
Ooh, that was a good movie, KarmaGirl. You're right, Dread Pirate Willy! Arrrgh...Bleah. But wait...they didn't have Photoshop back then did they? I'm dyin' here!

If you're looking for a custom bare-bones configuration for a rock-bottom price, I recommend MonarchComputer.com. It is very versatile. In fact, the box I'm using now came from there at one heck of a price.
Capt. Willy. So maybe that is stupid, but I don't want to steal anything from Disney.
About not wanting to cart CDs everywhere...Have you ever heard of CloneCD? Well, you can make copies of "copy-protectes" for legitimate uses. Included in the program is an add-on called VirtualCloneDrive. It lets you mount an ISO and use it as a virtual CD drive. There are other progs that do this, but this one works with the copy-protection. What I've done is made ISOs of all my games, stored them locally on my hard drive (you will need gobs of space to do this) and simply mount what I want whe

If you don't want to shell out money, I recommend Mozilla Thunderbird. It has built in spam management, and eveyone knows the story behind Mozilla...free...open source...early RCs... Ahh.
