I plan to upgrade, if for no other reason then to keep my computer skills current. Right now, I have 98. Windows ME didn't have any new features that I really needed, and Microsoft announced that Windows XP was coming out a long time ago, so I never upgraded to ME.

Versions of Windows from 98 and up include the option to view your desktop as a web page, thus enabling jpgs and gifs to be used as backgrounds. Why do we have to convert wallpaper files to bitmaps? I think we should have the option to just upload a jpg or gif file. Most graphic programs these days allow for easy file conversions. Plus, web formats take up less space on your hard drive.

Yes, it's a virus. I got two of these today and one last week. The big tip-off was the huge file size and two extensions, one being executable, which varied.

I was suspicious and did not open the attachments, and deleted the file immediately. Also I got the first one saying "I send you a budget for your approval..." I was a student intern web designer at the time, no one wo

I use Paint Shop Pro and have been using it since version 4. It's easy to use, makes great graphics and costs just under $100 US. Paint Shop Pro is compatible with Photoshop Plug-ins (like the Kai's Power Tools series). Bryce is great for 3D graphics, but it's not cheap (around a couple hundred dollars).

I couldn't get any of the effects (height, weight, italics etc) to work. The font kept resizing to the point where it was off the buttons when I loaded the skin in WindowBlinds, so I ended up just changing text colors instead.

Microsoft Visual C++ has a cursor maker. I've played around with it at work. It's not very good, though, it only seems to offer basic colors. But it saves files in .cur format, so I guess it's better than nothing. If anyone knows how to get more colors to work in it, let me know.
