When I got my still-sweet Dell XPS 710 a couple years ago, I was disappointed to discover that the original BootSkin app didn't fly on Nvidia motherboards. Is this still the case with the new BootSkin Pro? I'd test it myself, but I've yet to upgrade to Vista. Thanks!
The old BootSkin app wouldn't work with Nvidia mobos. Same for this version?
*sigh* 'Pears I'm subject to this nForce mobo problem noted above. Dammit. Don't suppose there's any chance of Bootskin being rewritten to avoid this problem? Perhaps for a Vista release? Failing that, is there any other product of this nature? I'm tweaking so much else in the UI, I'd really hate to be saddled with that boring boot screen if I don't have to be!
So I probably spend way too much time on CNet.com than I should, being the fairly tech savvy bloke that I am. But, h
Ultimate Fantastic Four # 21 Well, I guess I'm only gonna do these as the spirit moves me. Which I guess is okay for a blog, being what they are. 
I think seven months off is a good enough break! (Sheesh, what have I been doing?) What can I say? City Of Heroes is a very absorbing game. That and I'm no longer working at a comic shop. Yet the addiction remains strong, and some "events" all but require commentary. Such as the
Geez.... Don't you folks get tired of being wrong?

I think that one reason those IE hypno-rays work on you is that most sites are either designed work optimally with IE or simply designed with Microsoft tools, which of course default to producing IE-optimized sites. Take this here one for example. Dunno how they code it, but the pages often come up too wide for even a fully maxed-out Mozilla window, especially when composing an article or posting replies. Looks just fine under IE, regardless of wind

Comic Reviews for the week of 6-23-04 Yep, still not current, but I'm trying! A lot more work than I'd thought, and even this won't be the complete record of everything I read this week, but I'm making
You did, and thanks. I think I've worked out an effective, if piecemeal approach. I create in Word, but save as text only, then I open up the text file in Notepad and the Mozilla Composer. Then I cut the entire text, paste into Composer and tweak it from there. Oddly, I can't just open a text file through Composer without losing all the easy HTML tools. At least through Mozilla, the editing window here just isn't large enough for me to comfortably
I work in a comic shop, so I have the ability to read but not buy. All of the capsule reviews are books I read at lunch. You have a point, though. It may be more helpful to just dismiss that which I don't buy, and I do buy a few books every week, the ones I'd prefer to read in a more relaxed environment, i.e. home. I did have a list of books that I did buy last week. I should pull that out and give some recommendations from that list. Hmmm. Alre
As promised, it's quick catch-up time for the books that came out last week. It's not everything that came out, just what I read (natch!). If you want more detail, or comments on other book

Yeah, I think it can, since not only was writing comic reviews the prime impetus for starting up with blogging, it's something I'd really like to do. I've started a couple, but between work and TV (less of a concern than it used to be) and the crystal meth-like addiction that is City Of Heroes, I've yet to finish more than the one review, and I assure you, I have rea
Madine: Wow. I could not have put it more succinctly if I'd tried hard. Well done. Vincible: The only people for whom the sanctions were beneficial were those in Saddam Hussein's regime, those enriching themselves with illegally obtained Iraqi oil via the UN-administered "Oil for Food" program, and those who completely flaunted the sanctions and did business with Hussein's regime anyway. The "those" in the last two categories consist of t
So I put up my very first blog post…and nothing happened. Thanggod! For as private an S.O.B. as I am, it’s always a very queasy thing to put myself “out there” in such a way. May have a post that typifies this in the future, but for the moment, let’s get on to one of my cited purposes: There’s been a severe level of hype surrounding the next big “crisis”
