Santa Maria, CA--Fair, 37F. We've had rain off and on for the last few days, but the sky is crystal clear right now, and the sun has just come up. Supposed to be 56F here today. I notice you're in North Tonawanda, NY, Doctor Nick...my family is originally from Buffalo, and I still have a handful of relatives living there. I just find it funny for somebody in that area of New York to actually be rooting for snow! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" border=0 A

Reply to TGT Soft sues Stardock (just in time for the holidays :( ) in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

What a crock of baloney. This is truly mind-boggling, especially since there's basically no chance that TGT Soft can possibly win this lawsuit. Hopefully it won't get very far before some astute judge stops laughing long enough to throw it out of court. And when that happens, Brad, definitely sue TGT Soft to cover your legal bills. They started it, they can finish it.

Reply to Newsflash - Saddam captured! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Here in California, we're just waking up to the news. Excellent news, though. I'm thoroughly surprised, and relieved, that he was taken without a fight. I just hope this means our troops can start coming home sooner rather than later. A trial in Iraq per the Iraqi justice system seems most logical, for a start. Then a war crimes trial in the Hague. Barring that pesky public beheading in Iraq, of course. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/hot.gif" border=0 ALIGN="a

Reply to What is your favorite Christmas movie? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

A Christmas Story My whole family loves it. This year, a company has started producing merchandise based on this movie, including replicas of the Old Man's leg lamp. I just had to get one of those things for my father as his main Christmas present. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he unwraps it. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/hot.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle"

Reply to What is your favorite sport? Team? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

My favorite sport is football, and I love the Niners!!! Although it's been very trying to be a Niners fan this season. I love the fact that quite often I've gotten surprised, if not totally shocked, reactions from men who find it odd to meet a woman who's pretty darn knowlegdable about sports, especially football and baseball <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/hot.gif" border=0 A

Reply to This day is just going from bad to worse............ in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hm, very interesting...I'm pretty sure I already tried to download the Winter 2003 skin with the firewall and anti-virus programs disabled, with no success. But I went ahead and tried it again just now, because I figured it was worth another try. First attempt, the download crashed again, and I got a message saying the connection with the server had been reset. I was ready to give up then and there, but I gave it one more try. The download picked up where it had left off...and it wen

I've tried downloading the Winter 2003 WB skin 3 ways now...IE 6, Netscape 7, and Stardock Central. Changed servers from Atlanta to California, thanks to the tips I read in this thread...didn't have a clue about this before, and it seemed kinda dorky that I was downloading from Atlanta when I live in California. Anywho, the end result is the same...the download crashes before it's complete,

hm...sounds like this is that same thing that keeps happening to me when I try to download the Winter 2003 WB skin. I can never get the whole file to download...it poops out in the middle of the download, then wbload.exe crashes. when I've tried to do the old change the .wba extention to .zip to try extracting it, I get a message that the .zip file is corrupt. weird.

Reply to What do you do for a living? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm a registered nurse, just changed jobs and now work for the county. Used to work for a large clinic foundation, before that worked at the local hospital and extended care center. Nursing is a second career for me...I worked in the aerospace industry, first as a word processing operator, then as a tech writer, then as an executive secretary. But then the bottom fell out of aerospace in the early 90's, and I was laid off. Was out of work for a year until the local Sears store finally hired

Reply to Harry Potter books are evil? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Argh, I'm sssooo tired of the people who put down Harry Potter, call the books evil, claim it promotes "witchcraft," yadda yadda yadda. The total irony is that the majority of the people doing the whining and complaining have never even read the books. > My mother is 74 years old and grew up on the Wizard of Oz books. They were her favorite books as a child...she had them all, and read them all m

Reply to Verizon DSL : a personal thought in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I've had Verizon DSL for about 3 years now, and my local, long distance, and cell phone service are all through them. Never had a problem with them. Maybe the rare moment of loss of connection, but a simple reboot always fixes that. Never had a problem with billing either. I do online billing and automatic payment for the land line and DSL, and just send a check in for my cell phone each month. Plus Verizon DSL did just lower the monthly fee by 5 bucks, which isn't bad. <img src="http://im
