Reply to Does Stardock "need" WinCustomize? in Community WinCustomize Forums

Good bump on this thread. WC is important to me as a subscriber and user of Stardock products. Although I don't contribute skins, I try to put what I can into the system by purchasing all the programs and premium works that I can. For me, WC is the "showroom" for Stardock products, providing an interface for me, the consumer, to obtain "product" to use. It's hard for me to compare WC to any local marketplace, as this is a unique concept, depending upon, and sustaining, Stardock's products. I pay

Reply to Are there any female computer geeks out there? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

"geeks" started out as a highly derogatory carnival nickname for the otherwise unemployable carny hangers-on...in order to give them something to do, and perhaps draw a few customers to the midway, the "geeks", as they were known, used to work in a sideshow tent, admission was charged, say, a dollar, and the eager customers would get to see the "geeks" bite the head off a chicken.

Reply to TESTING...any volunteers? (The Official Release ) in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

One splash, then SURPRISE!: clearness, even!! Set "properties" to "Run at Windows startup"...rebooted to check it out...ATW didn't remember where it was at shutdown, and I had to re-tune the color and locations from default again. It may be my PC, as the buttons were off the bottom of the object when I switched to vertical, but they were attached to the edge, like tabs. I switched to horiz and back to vert and they were once again properly embedded. I'm going to reboot again and see if i

Umm, yes, me too, same as SIXX21, but I'll drag my feet all the way...I'm just now getting XP PRO SP2 to where I like it. Sounds like Vista's going to want a new rig to run it all out. That means big bucks for me, evn if I put it together myself. [I'm also hanging back on IE 7, r
