He has amazing artist vision, as do all of the Stardock Design artists. I am sure that the Art that is produced for HyperDesk will be amazing, but I'm still wondering how they will be able to provide end user support. It's one thing to provide second level support, but end user support requires several staff members and t

Reply to Why impulse worse then DVD in Impulse Beta WinCustomize Forums

Actually, if you read the License Agreement, we don't transfer licenses, anyway. So, though you can sell the hard copy, the person who buys it can't actually register it (we don't like supporting 2 or more people but only getting paid once for it). So, your "rights" to the license and what you can do with it, per the license agreement, are the same either way.

That is complete thyroid replacement, which you really don't want to do unless you have a noticeable goiter or nodules/cysts that are growing. That is also a really high dose- as high as what I am on, and I'm overweight and have no Thyroid at all. Too much hormone can cause serious problems including heart failure.&nbsp

Reply to Premium Suites / MyColors - a concern... in OS Customization JoeUser Forums

CarGuy1, you can't use MyColors for suites, it uses a different packaging. We plan to make it more robust for OD users in the future but it is just in development right now. However, there are only two that are fully Vistafied, and that is Magic and Pirate. We will be getting the people who bought those transitioned over to the MyColors version very soon. Omega now has an upgrade path, also.

[quote]The installer prompts me to uninstall MyColors instead of just installing the new theme as I currently have MyColors installed with the Qwest theme. Appears that they must work on the installer further.[/quote] We ran into that yesterday. I think it's because the CNet version is trying to install over the installed one instead of recognizing it and just installing the theme. We're aware of the issue and are looking into it.

It's like a ThemeManager, but has the basic software with it. You pay for the theme, and OD users get a discount because they already paid for the full versions of the software. Once you install MyColors, you don't have to reinstall it, you just use it to download and app

Reply to Premium Suites / MyColors - a concern... in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

We will be offering a free upgrade to the MyColors version to anyone who purchased in the last 6 months. If the purchase was made prior to that, the upgrade to Vista will be $4.95 (there is an email being prepared to send out for this). "Premium suites" as we know them will be phased out over the next month and replaced with MyColors. As the themes get updated for Vista, they will be published as MyColors suites. The upgrade fees, however, only pay for the extra work

Tova, you don't have to give me that much info, I've had thyroid problems for the past 19 years and have been thyroid free for over 4 years (I had a lobe removed when I was 18, and the rest over 4 years ago). Armour Thyroid is still prescribed by many Endocrinologists, and is on an uprise due to it being more naturally compatible. Some people will never convert T4, and if you don't have a thyroid, or it is minimally functioning, you need both T3 and T4 to have a properly regulat

A real endocrinologist uses the lab results as a guide and treats you clinically. Hormones and how they react in your body are very individual. You also

I know that hindsight is 20/20, but I think I know two of your downfalls to puppy doom: 1) Puppies and 2 year olds- the worse mix on earth.
