Money does a lot of strange things to people, unfortunately it happens all the time, but to me personally there are more important things than it, i would give everything i own for my wifes MS to go away, all these greedy people(should say criminals) that are ripping people off on a daily basis, the greediness has even infected the healthcare industry, with the insurance companies telling physicians and hospitals what they will or will not cover, essentially tying the dr's hands behind his ba

I would post a picture, but everything is white, i am jealous of all the pictures where it looks like it is warm, right now it is 15 degrees F, and its going down to zero tonight, we have had a tough winter here in New England, between the ice storms and the snow (seems like every sunday it snows) i normally love the winter but there hasnt been any happy medium here. Bebi Bulmas pictures really made me think of relocating south, i think i say that every winter,

Actually here in Massachusetts, when the mortgage disaster started, they busted, an attorney, a realtor, and a mortgage lender,( these 3 in cahoots together) for doing just that, tell the people they could afford the mortgage, after 6 months it was sold to another lender who doubled their monthly payments, fortunately they were caught, tried and convicted

Here is an idea to the beauracrats (right spelling?) anyway, how about bailing out the family down the street that is losing their home, fighting to put food on the table, oh i really shouldnt get into this, i get so angry, when the "average Joe and his family get screwed once again" but there is a positive note, i truly believe our new president Barack Obama will do good things, I have a lot of faith in this man, havent had that since JFK, (even though i was a young whippersnapper)

I think i just have a lucky streak going when it comes to OS'es mainly vista, like i said in my previous post, no problems at all, and i am the originator of murphys law, so i am really liking this lucky streak, guess that is why i am so pro vista, it has been very good for me, but not so for a lot of other people., i think back to when i first put in XP, very little problems with that as well, i guess i really should play the lottery now.

I have been running vista since its release, well the day afterward, anyway, never had a problem on my old pentium 4 machine with it, and no problems at all with my new one i just built 2 months ago, actually only problem i had was the slow file copy that SP1 fixed, but it found all my hardware on both machines and runs really well, in fact i posted a question on a triple boot here last week, but changed my mind, formatted XP out of the picture, now doing Windows 7 and Vista, funny, it seems the

I guess i am fortunate, I am a retired law enforcement officer,(retired at age 45, 23 years of service) receive a pension check each month and health insurance for the rest of my life, but I also work now a full time job, with disabled and autistic children(a lot of job satisfaction going on here) but i see friends and family members being laid off their jobs, and struggling to make ends meet, so once again I do have to thank President George Bush for this wonderful predicament we are in

I am having flashbacks here now, Mr Ed, Francis the Talking Mule, Ma and Pa Kettle, Leave it to Beaver,and of course sunday nights meant "The Wonderful World of Disney" and then "Bonanza" ah the days when watching the tube was a lot of family fun, things have changed just a little bit, funny i remember telling my youngest daughter years ago,(who is 26 now) that we didnt always have cable, and a remote, we actually got up from the couch and changed the channel manually

FYI i had read somewhere, that using registry cleaners on vista is not a good idea, i personally dont use one, but the article i had read (just cant remember where) said it was ok with xp and lower but not with vista, just some FYI

quick question about windows 7, i am presently running vista 32 and xp 32 dual boot, i do have a spare hd,hooked up on my pc but i just use it for storage, can i install windows 7 for a "triple" boot or would i be asking for trouble on this one?

Reply to How OLD is your system/install? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I usually reformat and reinstall every couple of months, mainly because i always end up doing something, and its easier to reinstall than spend the time trying to fix something i never should have messed with, oh and my machine i built 2 months ago, so i guess i dont qualify for this thread LOL

I installed Windows 7 the other day, the only problem i had was drivers for system interrupt controllers, and believe me i tried everything, of course my machine ran much slower than it should have, then again the release i installed was not the one MS just released friday, so i am gonna give it another try later on today, other than that i did like what i saw, some of the new features are pretty cool

What i have noticed, the folks who spend a lot of time here (myself included) either posting or reading, when the initial message came out from Frogboy, we all seemed for the most part to react the same way, a sense of urgency, borderline panic, (sure know i felt like that )and as it has progressed to the present time, things have toned down, as we get more information, and process it, and overall ihave found that i probably overreacted, i think after reading this thread i sure feel a lot mor

Group the skins in categories on the creators originality,experience, etc all the way up to master skins, i am not a skinner, spent a day trying it, (with bad results) so i have a huge amount of respect to anyone that creates one, so if i download one from say "amateur" category, i will already know kind of what to expect, little bugs here and there,(expected) again i am throwing in 2 cents but now it is up to 6 cents now

Yes that 60's group, great band saw them numerous times in concert, great band to see live, also Ray Davies brother played (plays) in that band Supertramp, on the quote on paranoia, there are 2 versions of the song, the studio one, and which i consider the better, a live version, which i think is far superior to the studio version, plus WOM i did check your profile, and i did check your age, so you better remember the Kinks LOL[e digicons]:D[/e]

Ok a little while ago i didnt know what to think,now that i have given it some thought, well it all comes down to people surfing the web, for free stuff (myself included) i used to download from WC, after quite a few i realized a subscription would be a good thing, as i already had downloaded a lot of free skins,so the 29 bucks to me was worth it, and i have no regrets either of spending the money, and in march i will renew, but i think the best thing would be to have a limited area where non
