Now Here's a guy that has the right attitude. This is one of the most liberal GUI Dev's and quite refreshing to see his attitude. This is just to throw an extra bone into the crowd, and not let the Mac Crowd feel left out. http://swizcore.com/SS/macOSX.php [Swizcore Studio] "So your a PC/Linux user who has ported an SS original?

Reply to Switching to Mac in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I didn't even know Stardock Products were developed for Mac. I think the closest thing to Windowblinds for mac is http://www.kaleidoscope.net/ [Kaleidoscope], and its' functionality is limited to OS9.2 and below. It isn't supported in the OSX v10. Although one would wonder, since OSX is a UniX derivative, that you could theoretically run an Xwindows Theme System on it, and theme it that way.

Reply to Firefox: pass along info? in Internet WinCustomize Forums

Windowblinds skins it. Sites that are coded lazily for IE might now work properly. (This is discovered on a Site to Site basis), and an Extension (add on tool) can be added to firefox to make an "open in IE"option in a right click menu, when on a site that is acting funny. It doesn't fall vulnerable to alot of IE Exploits. There are alot of developer Extensions as well as Extension for the Average Joe, that extend Firefox's abilities. I

Reply to Hey... one word: BitTorrent in Internet WinCustomize Forums

Well I will fess up, I use it all the time to watch TV Shows, I like. I live in an area, where TV is very bad, Cable is worse, and it was a choice, sattelite or my Internet connection. I rarely watch regular TV. I get episodes of StarGate SG-1, and Some BritComs, and Nova from PBS. Many Nations are starting to roll out TV over DSL, and bundle Information Technologies, like VoIP, DSL and TV together. I think BitTorrent is a real Genie, out of the bottle

I found that the easiest thing to do is something similar to this... 1. Install Pristine OS 2. Turn off all Crap Services, Restore, Hybernate, and disable Page File (gimme a minute here) 3. Restart PC 4. Defrag all Drives 5. Shut Down PC and use Norton Ghost Boot Disk, and make image of Pristine Drive ( No page File makes Image Size Smaller) 6. Restart PC and Install Norton Ghost, make bootable CD Norton Ghost Floppy Disk 7.

Just so you guys and gals know, when Gmail gives you invites, send them to an alternate account email, and then gmail will store the invitations in your sent items folder, go to that and you can copy pastethe address into your message here as hyperlinks. That will save all the hassles of emailing back and forth, and quicken up the process and make it pain free.

Jafo, you are right and my removing my comments were a mistake. Actually alot of my moodiness,the last couple of weeks, has been a problem. As you might recall, my Mother died, this year and this was my first Christmas without her, being around. I have been on edge alot, and bordering on a depressive state. My wife and Daughter, chose this week to lie to me about something, and I have been in a bad mood, and unfortunately this colored my re

TSF - You missed my point entirely. Unless you havn't noticed there isn't a lot of disposable income out there, right now, at least in my neck of the woods. (which happens to include the entire southern region of the US) What I am saying is that alot of small form factor MP3 devices have hit the market already, and the flood has come and gone. If folks buy a FlashPod, it would need to offer alot of bang for the buck. I get alot of Bang for the $30 CD/M

Sorry, if it seems like a "take my marbles and go home" action. I never feel comfortable around here, especially when it's suicide to critic the all mighty, fearless leaders. I've finally gotten to the point where I feel it is a waste of my time to try and say something. I don't want to cause any more headaches, so I'll be in the corner over there, being quiet and minding my own business.
