The skinning community is an international community. We have many citizens from around the world. Please join me in expressing my sympathies for the families, friends and neighbors of the victims of the senseless violence in Erfurt, Germany. Thirteen teachers, two young girls, the school secretary and a policeman were killed by a 19-year old, who then turned his gun on himself. As the parent of a high-school student and the brother of a teacher, my heart goes out to you. Peace
Go to http://www.annoyyourfriends.com/geek/ and take the test. Folks, this is really funny! It describes everyone that I know.
Just a quick suggestion. Try going to "Edit Account" at the top of the page. Select "optimize Account for Speed." That might help a little.
Happy Passover and a Joyous Easter to all! Please forgive me, my friends, for not posting this earlier. I must confess that the recent events in the Middle East have left me a little depressed. But please let me wish all a happy holiday and say "Shalom" (Peace) to everyone.
Happy Birthday, Alexandrie! May you have many more!

Well, now you've done it, Marc. I am going to be thinking about (read fantasizing about) sitting in front of my VX3600, holding my Airpanel 150. Very cool.
As a colonial, I often admire the British culture. Did you notice the keen irony that we Yanks had Mel Gibson play the lead in the movie The Patriot?

I have this funny theory about morality. When a company or individual does things that are immoral at the outset (public name-calling, IP address spoofing, such) they are likely to continue to do immoral things in the future. Getting people to use your software and not telling them that they will need to pay for it is immoral.... and stupid.
I will describe a dreidel, but one DesktopX Object by AlexG is easily worth a thousand of my words. Everybody should check it out. The story is that the Syrian Greeks invaded Israel long ago. Syrian Greeks representing 1/2 of what was left of the Empire of Alexander the Great. They desecrated the Temple, declared everyone must worship Zeus, generally made things unpleasant. The Israelites rebelled, lead by a family that adopted the name Macabee, meaning hammer. Somehow the Macabees army

Did everybody see Alex G's Dreidel for DesktopX? Thank you, alex!
Tonight is the first night of the Hanukah celebration, my favorite celebration. Any holiday that requires me to eat latkes (shredded potatoes fried in oil, served with apple sauce or sour cream) and doughnuts (um, doughnuts) is okay with me. Oh, yes, and we give out chocolate coins. (Yes, Feline, I used the "c" word.) Hanukah is a celebration of freedom and the right of people to practice their religous beliefs. At least thats the way we interpret it at my house, but I'm a secular humanist,

Orion, you are right on both counts. 3dfx died because of their poor decisions. The latest generation of NVIDIA hardware and driver support is amazing. The GeForce 3 is an exceptional card. But even if you are running a older card, the new drivers improve performance.
NVIDIA has announced that they will be releasing new drivers for their graphics cards tomorrow December 3, 2001. They are expected to be available for download from http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=drivers The 23.11 release of the Detonator XP drivers were developed to maximize 2D as well as 3D performance, and to take advantage of the new API's in Windows XP. These same API's are used in WindowBlinds. How good is your video performance and what difference will driver suppor
Coming into Wincustomize from home, there is a big difference. It is perhaps, as Jark pointed out, not as much of an increase as we might have hoped for. My sense is that, with the USA Today review and the release of WindowBlinds 3, traffic is going to expand to keep up with our bandwidth. Sigh. The price of being popular.
