"PSP is a windows program and therefore it is written for a windows user. Things are in a logical place and do the expected things. PS is a mac program and there for it is set up to be logical for a mac user, at least that's how it seems to me..." -TasT I liked the way PS didn't support a scroll wheel till version 6. Even in 6 right click support was very weak. I have heard that it is better in 7 but have yet to try it.

"Visitors.....They can only download skins that have been rated at 7 or above." "Citizens can modify their preferences to display skins of any rating or above" I get to see all skins but don't get to see their rating. Let me put it this way. George and I are in second grade. We take tests, do homework, and study. One important differance between George and me is he gets all his t

Actually the more I think about it the madder I get. I can't even see what ratings my own skins have! That is stupid and elitist. Not sure that I care for a site that has that attitude. "We can see it and you can't." What bullshit!

"Aside from featured skins, ratings are only visible to Apprentice and up level users." Then what is the big deal? 95%+ of the users are never going to see them or even know about them. If that many people can't see them why bother having them?

Perhaps I am just having a brain fart, but I never see any ratings on stuff. I noticed that the featured wall has a rating of 10 but when I go to that wall's section there is nothing about a rating there.

They jiggle when you click the objects. If you click them too often a virtual hand slaps the cursor.

The problem with copies of WB is that you are not likely to use it in a professional way that you would with Office or Photoshop. While it might help with sheep mentality of "everybody on this newsgroup uses it, I should too". Which might help to boast sales it is also a possible way to get a bad name. Copied versions don't get updates and bug fixes that people complain about. This could lead to "I tried it and it sucked!" when they used version 1.5 and the current version is 3.4 and most of the

Back to this black and white thing. The older I get the more I don't see things as black and white. Take the hacking community. Many tools that were developed by the hacking community are now seen as common administrator tools. The differances between the evil network cracking versions and tools for the resourceful net admin are one was often made by a teeneager sitting in his room and having it on your computer is sometimes considered probable cause by law enforcement types. The other was made

"probably too much to ask for ie. conflict of interest but it would show that you are fair" by darwn23 What would you consider LiteStep? Why does the number have to be 15? If it was up to me I would dump screenshots. Most screenshots I have seen were larger then the actual skin. Maybe add a section called "In Progress". I would pick up Trillian instead.

You could do it with some modifications. The white bars would be spaced a little farther apart though.

ObjectBar can do the right click thing as well. Actually that is one of my favorite things about it. It works on the desktop, but not in a program. I kind of wish it would.

They did have a comic book for awhile. My fav was the blue one. I also had the command base for them. There was also a ship that would make a noise that sounded like it was rising when pointed up and lower when pointed down. The thing would breakdown into about 8 pieces. I was always worried about losing the smaller pieces.

You also left off Terminator. The story I heard was that when Lucas got the go ahead to make a movie he had the entire series worked out already. He decided to go with the one that was the strongest since he wasn't sure he would get a chance to make the rest of them. /me collected Micronauts when he was younger.
