kona, a small point, StyleXP is a global skinning app ONLY! > WB allows one to have a dozen different skins for different proggies and tweak them as well. Try doing that with SXP. As for 'fast, efficient code' and 'MurcroSucks' .... it's bloatware of the first order, an unfortunate byproduct of cheap RAM and rampant CPU overkill .... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/notsure.gif"

Jafo, easy! If one were to create a tube filled with Dolphins (and I'm sure it has been done already) one could spray them all over ad infinitum! And Palm Trees ... that would be a breeze! How about generating the Dolphins and Palm Trees in Bryce and converting them to PSP tubes!!! <A HR

Youji, no 'free' upgrades from Jasc but their pre-release upgrade price is fair enough. You might find it a good idea not to mention where the PS6 proggie came from BTW .... One of the quirks about PS users ... many use it in the workplace .... very few I know (in Australia) will ante up the A$1500.00+ price out of their own pockets! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/surprised.gi

PSP8 is still more than a little 'buggy' in a few areas, the general feeling in the test group is "Please don't release it until it's right!" which is my thoughts as well. Youji, you should get a really good upgrade deal .... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Powered by

I use both. PSP is more 'user friendly' while PS tends to relate to the professional graphics person, except for the trend in PS7 toward the 'happy snaps digital camera' user .... not a great idea IMHO. Baker ... PSP has and will continue to innovate, PSP6 introduce several features only picked up in PS6. PSP8 Beta8 is looking good, if a little bit of an overkill in some areas.

It's a worry ... we remember the original Jafo? Cue the incense, batik printed everything, San Miguel, Dan Murphey, home grown Acapulco Gold .... and Fondue Parties!! At least the Lava lamps and flared hipster jeans (YES!) have made a return! <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?Cmd=ful

"War Crimes"? Baker ... ever heard of William Calley(?).... and why did the US refuse to sign the International Convention covering War Crimes recently? As for the UN, it's finished. Too many lobby groups and self interest ... aside from being run by people out off touch with the Real World. UN Intervention certainly helped the people in the nation formerly known as 'Jugoslavia'! > Built o

If you're running XP and WB4 there are many skins out there that do not use all the WB4 features. They are fine as a 'per app' skin but you need one of the newer WB4 versions for a 'Desktop' theme. And RTFM anyway. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Powered by Ski

One of the RoK units we worked with had a couple of troopies KIA in a very 'unfriendly' fashion. I doubt if 'skinned alive' would be strictly accurate but a human skin draped over the razor wire sure tones down the neighbors ..... 'Phoenix' was an interesting approach which should have been kept as a very 'Black' operation, scuppered by the usual internal leaks to the 'resonsible' media, if I

sig, see BKB's comment re Operation Phoenix. The idea of giving the average ground pounder a 'Who's Who on Iraqi's Hit Parade' is not a bad idea. Proceeding about it in such a theatrical way is not going to win any 'Hearts and Minds', more likely to have the opposite effect. It's all a matter of style, and the 'Deck of Cards' smacks of a really cheap Rambo movie. How do you think it looks to the average Iraqi, as an aside, it certainly wouldn't looked upon by the countries in the

That little "Full Deck" stunt is verging on being top of the "dumb and dumber" ideas to come out of the whole business. Too close to the really tasteful practice of posing with dead Vietnamese complete with an Ace of Spades card stuck in the mouth of the corpse .... or leaving a 'calling card' with a dead NVA. I'm not at all queasy but there is a limit to what will motivate people and what has the opposite effect. The "Full Deck" is a perfect example of how not to get results.... ><

Xerraire. Point 1. Where does the 'suicide vest' story specify that kids were to use these weapons? No different to storing any other form of munitions in schools or other public buildings that would be off limits to the 'western' way of thinking. Just another media beat-up! Point 2. Spying on the UK by the 'Russians'? Old news, everyone 'spies' on everyone. So what, more media hype. Point 3. 'Media' reports are far from being reliable sources of information in times of peace, le
