Reply to Where can I download Longhorn ? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

da_zaman20, "why would you want an incomplete operating system where nothing works anyway?" .... Longhorn Alpha or Beta must be no different to any other Microsoft release! Must be ready for release if it is the way you describe it ... <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?Cmd=full&NewsID=

Reply to Finally went to River Dance tonight ! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

We were lucky enough to see the original in London with Michael Flatley (A #1 dork but he can/could DANCE) and Jean Butler (Wombat melts at the thought!).... thought they were the Canard's Gonads! When the Aussie Tour came to Melbourne we managed to go again, no Mr Flatley (cheers!) but the new guy was better and Ms Butler remained delectable (Molten Wombat again!). Must be the Celtic blood of o

BB .... they certainly tried it on and at one point it erupted into what became known as "The Battle for Brisbane". Allies ... even shots were exchanged! Aussies 10, Yanks 0! And a few heads were thumped during the "R&R Occupation" during the Police Action in Vietnam .... Sydney was always a better R&R city than Melbourne or Brisbane, lots of hookers and plenty of pharmaceuticals available!

Hey BB, Must have been a just seeking some attention! Our first Beagle was a bitch named 'The Duchess' and she certainly was one! The very first day we had her home she found some rat poison (left behind the dishwasher by the previous owners of our 'renovator's delight') and was raced off to the Vet .... she was OK but I had to take her everywhere with me to keep up her medication. Of cou

Not many dogs out there I dislike, it's usually the 'owners'! We have a pair of Beagles, 'Chloe' is a lemon and 'Biggles' a tri .... beautiful dogs and neither has a mean bone in their bodies! Goldies are great, sort of a big hairy Beagle in temperament! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gi

And several fires have been set by members of the volunteer 'Country Fire Authority' fire fighting service. They seem to fit a profile, usually young males and wanting to be part of some drama, setting a bush fire is their idea of getting to see some 'action' and be hailed as a 'hero'. > BTW, 'hung, drawn and quartered' involves several extra nasties as well ..... aside from having to clean up the mes

One of the exchange group we were attached to in 1990 lived there, #300 something if I remember correctly. The address stuck in my mind because it was rather quaint. Good bloke,"Old Penn Dutch" family was his description. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Pow

5 in the tray ..... but there are 8 'custom' popup launch menus running in the taskbar with 40 shortcuts divided among them. Don't use a start menu as such, easier to group much used proggies into seperate taskbar pop ups.... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Powered by

Reply to U.S. people--our president is giving state of union address in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hello? North Korea are a minor blip on the threat board. It's population are starving, the Armed Forces are in a state of extreme disarray and what the country wants is the US (or UN if you like)to lift sanctions so they can actually get on with their lives. Susan Sarandon ..... you are joking! An fine actor (nearly called her 'actress' oops!) but an authority on anything?? Serbia, is this 1914 or 1990 you refer to? The origins of the Great War are far more complex than a

"Expert" ... one who knows more and more about less and less. "Foreign Policy Expert" .... no such animal. The 'Nuclear Cataclysm' outlined by Frogboy will never happen, operational plans are already in place, and have been for several years, to 'remove' any of the possible instigators of this type of action well ahead of the first tangible sign of a move in this direction. > <A HREF="ht
