[quote who="pelaird" reply="21" id="3935873"] Later in college, I had access to this same computer, but we used punch cards and the FORTRAN programming language. [/quote] For me that was around 1970 [our Form 5 secondary school]. Punch cards were a pain...;)

Reply to July 2024 Desktop Screenshots in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

naroon1 ... if you go back a few months you will find Monthly Screenshot threads with dozens of variations of your AI wallpapers - hence the request to move those to your own thread. Snide statements about "My Only Screenshot Allowed Each Month In This Section" is simply childish. You are not prevented from posting here... however a total flood of repetitious posts simply displaces others' contributions.

Reply to July 2024 Desktop Screenshots in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Point is that 'Desktop Screenshot' is exactly that, not 'wallpaper of the day'. That can be shown in its own thread. The original intent of the Monthly Desktop Screenshot was to show or preview new skins/applications, or twists/variations of old ones.

I had that exact same XT...the 1 meg ram card was about 15" long ...full depth of the box. Wasn't my first computer...that was an XT clone...and before that a CBM64...;) Oh...before that again was a Fortran [not mine, naturally ... I didn't have the building big enough] ...;)

Reply to 0Patch will support W10 until 2030 in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I've been using 0patch since before MS gave up on Win7 and I cannot recommend it more. When you already have a system you like, with all the relevant programs all running just as you want the last thing you need is Microsoft "forcing" you to lose it all [not without a struggle] just because there will eventually be security issues. 0patch is an utterly painless way to stay safe and stay with your system as you want it. The patching protection is done live. There'

[quote who="Derell Licht" reply="10" id="3935084"] Well, except that the WB developers *do* have a vested interest in making interesting themes available to users... as it stands now, most of the actually interesting themes that exist, are not visible on your site... [/quote] I see the database lists 5,597 Windowblinds as currently being hosted on Wincustomize. Are you suggesting none of these is 'interesting'?

Reply to Where have all the Skinners gone ? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Derell Licht" reply="8" id="3934942"] However, why not at least have a pinned page somewhere, preferably on WinCustomize, that contains links to the various authors' pages, so users can find these sites?? [/quote] It sounds like a good idea until you determine whether it's an issue with privacy and 'spam management'. It's not Stardock's position to publish an individual's website/details. That's solely the responsibility/prerogative of the individual.

[quote who="Derell Licht" reply="6" id="3934927"] I just wish there was some well-known, well-documented source where all of the existing Masters could at least list their sites, if not show new content... waitaminit... isn't that what we *used* to have here ??

[quote who="orocrimson" reply="13" id="3930216"] Yeah, there's definitely something that I'm not understanding. You said the change to the new subscription model was important because providing support for users no longer paying was untenable. But, like you acknowledge, they weren't doing that anyway under the old model. So I don't understand that point.
