I must admit that having read posts like this I've had some reservations about buying an ODNT subscription, so I've considered doing the same as Bebi and just buying one or two programs, then getting ODNT when things are better. But reading Frogboy's recent post has given me hope that change is just around the corner, so I will buy ODNT because I'm a bloody idiot with no financial sense I want to have that change on my comput

I noticed the shoulder armour on the character in Jv_Cipo's wallpaper and your Dominion blind immediately came to mind. I didn't realise that the gemstone could be recoloured though. That's fantastic! And please tell me I can see a matching Winstep shelf at the top of the screenshot, because that would make me squeal in delight. [e dig

Yes, that's the one, and I think my link points to that now. Thanks for the help though, Jim. Your eyes did not deceive you, it was html to start with. I was trying to figure out how to have it just be the word 'link' in blue, and it wasn't working, lol. I found another post that explained how to do it. Oh, and call me Helen. In fact, everybody just call me Helen, for 'tis my name [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

All the money in the world can neither compare to nor buy the sense of knowing you have found somebody who truly completes you on every level. It makes me very happy to know that the two of you have done just that. Thank you for the update. My partner and I are both artists too, so I understand how wonderful it is to be with someone who is of such a mindset as your own. With others, it's like I may as well have been speaking to them in some alien language. The eyes glaze over and

Well, it's done. Though not without a slight headache (not my fault). I had to resize the partition I was going to image to 115GB so the image would go on the SSD no problem. So nothing major.. until the partitioning program screws something up and Windows won't boot.

Absolutely divine, Xiandi, just like your other blinds. Work like yours makes it all the harder for me to resist buying an ODNT subscription right now.

Thanks for the info, Doc [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I'm planning to create an E: partition and move the documents, movies, pictures (etc) folders onto there, along with a folder for temp files. Hopefully, that should extend it's life, though I don't actually use any of them as I already have versions of them set up on my D: drive from when I was using an 80GB HDD for the OS and programs and a 320GB for data, instead of the partitioned 640GB I'm using now. Still, it may he

Upgrading to SSD in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Last week I snagged myself a 128GB Corsair C300 SSD. Corsair's UK branch were running an offer on some refurbished models, and while they only have a 30 day warranty, it was pretty hard to resist the 128GB model at £92. Hopefully I won't regret my decision. The probllem is, I'm uncertain on the best way to proceed now. I have two options, I think. a)Create an image of the partition with my OS, programs and games on it, and install that onto the SSD b)
