Using CursorXP uses more CPU than not using it on my machine. It just seems to add a certain 'jerkiness' to some of the apps I use regularly. I'm running a 2 gig Athlon, so I don't think a slow computer is the problem. It's pretty, but not worth the performance hit, imo. I rely on the little pop-up hint thingies a lot (especially when I'm using CAD), and the cursors that are big enough to look really sweet seem to cover them up, for some reason. Cursors that are small enough to not interfer

Some feature suggestions for WB/SKS in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

How about have the option to specify different window borders for maximized windows, non-maximized windows, and MDI windows?

They should eliminate 'RAM' also...that's a *naughty* term! Come to think of it so is port, socket, and any number of other things. *hey* No wonder there is such a plague of porn on these things!

I had Norton Systemworks 2001, and it had the bad habit of trashing my computer to the point of unusability. Don't know if the newer version are any better. Phoon's method is the best, have a 40-60 gig HD for your operating system and so forth, and a nice BIG one for any updates and software you upload (preferably backing them up to CD...just in case). It really doesn't take that long to reformat/reinstall if you do something so heinous that it can't fix. Always assuming you have a fairly

JUST ONCE...I'd like to see something like this get to court...and have both the judge and the jury simply start laughing uncontrollably until they vomit...and then disbar the prosecuting attorney and lock the plaintiff up for psychiatric observation.
