I only get 620 for "OS/2 problem" maybe we should all switch to that?

Having a lot of something is not an excuse to waste it on pointless crappy frivolities like themes or gigantic weather sidebars, mister Latecomer.

That'd be approximately 14.7 gustavs (or 146.3 buckleys, if you prefer).

Personally, I believe any computer problem can be solved with a good reformat of the hard drive(s). After all, why save the patient when he's just going to get sick again?

Don't you see?? These divergent search results are only the first step in Google's master plan to break consensus reality and seal us all up in our own virtual world!!

That Firefox theme is obviously nice. You are wrong about that. And the sidebar, which is actually only there because I wanted a pretty clock. I win.

I refuse to listen to anyone who is picky enough to run XP in classic mode but who still uses Internet Explorer. Never mind the fact that you've got a not open Messenger and a "safetly remove hardware" icon in your taskbar. Why don't you just load up Task Scheduler and be done with it? EH?

(-10 points for the blatent loading up of Winamp in order to show everyone what song you're playing, too. It also looks suspiciously like you're using either Winamp 2, or Winamp 5 in classic mode, in which case there really is no hope for you.)

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Anyway Nim, you are right in that you could save a teensy bit of power by turning off themes. You could also reduce your desktop to 16 colours and have no wallpaper. But doing so will be silly.
*scoph* Have you any idea what kind of framerate I get in 16 colours and 320x200? Seesaw!

No, never done that. Nor do I bother with 3urd party software designed to OPTIMIZE your DOWNLOAD SPEED or SPEED up my FLOPS. Having a conventionally and moderately good system is good enough for me. I get about 40 kilogustavs per session out of it.

Heh, reminds me of when everyone was posting their desktops and half the time it was much more fun to see what was on their taskbars and system trays. . .

You're the person who complained that everyone put up Winamp (because it's more trendy than Media Player) and "accidently" left their playlist showing in order to impress everyone with they Ultra Kewl Music Taste.

I think looking at Simon's caused several people to become ill.

Is that just your playlist or, like, your entire library? In any event, here's to starting the trend all over again.

I guess that's all the songs I have, minus a few.

Liam is going to be all over you like a drill instructor, Topher, for the size of your system tray.

I am unable to put my rage into words. iTunes AND Winamp? Plus what looks suspiciously like one of those "we're going to check your PC constantly for errors" things in the shape of a toolbox. You have committed a grave sin.

Philip Glass

And as for Simon: WHERE IS THAT IDLEWIND SONG I SENT YOU? ANGER! But anger that can be calmed by the act of you sending me those Macho Man Randy Savage files. They'll go brilliantly with the "oooh yeah" I'm currently using on my mobile as my message tone.

Philip fudging Glass. Seriously, what?
