I upgraded from Win98 SE to Me and had no real problems. Had some good features. Used it until last Sept. before getting a Notebook with XP as a stop gap till Vista. But I think Me came too soon after Win98 SE and then XP - then a long gap to Vista. I think us morons want a NEW OS every 5 years, but an eye-candy and bug fix, with extra features every two-and-a-half-years. Whereas business doesn't want to upgrade for five years. * I voted for DOS 6.22 but I didn't mind trying to learn that. It came with the 1st second hand computer I bought for $500.00. But what would I have done without XTree Gold as my Explorer !!!! A long time before I had been able to use at work and borrow C/PM. But when I saw Windows 95 PS. I wouldn't buy Windows XP because on the lock!!! So there.. (I would like to put the OS on my old PC, no matter how slow. Just to even things out.) But they get you in the end!

The Great Borland Delphi - The True Believers Here's another one! Remember that I can't code! Thanks to all the guys (male & female) that can.. You did parts and I just whacked them in. Aussie GST Calculator does just that! Calculates the Australian Goods and Services Tax that must be added to all end sale products. It's 10% by the way. So, maybe not as useful as 7 & 1/2% or 17 & 1/2%. Ten per cent is easier to work out. But after a night out, may be of some use! Updated from an old version which may have been D2, 3, 4 ,5, I forget, to Delphi 2005. Also, the old version of this and WavEar used the installed component dsFancy Buttons and I removed those. I like the mouse over raised buttons of D2005. The code is below::..

<<Borland Delphi>>> Hello to the True Believers... Here is a little program I assembled in Borland Delphi for Win32 some years ago. I think it might have been D4 or D5, but not sure. So, when the new Delphi 2005 became available for personal use on a recent PC Mag. cover disk, so I thought I'd update this useful (to me) program. Let me say I do not know anything about programming! The only thing I can do is drop a button on a Form and fire the 'on click' event by typing the code: Close; No, this code originally came from a PC Mag. with the message pop-up addition I obtained from all the FREE Delphi code floating around the Net. Would not compile with the original message pop-up::.. procedure TMainForm.SpeedButton1_helpClick(Sender: TObject); begin Application.messagebox( '1. You can click any Wav sound to play'+#10+ ''+#10+ '2. You can click a sound to play, then use the '+#10+ 'Keyboard = UP = and = DOWN = Arrows to move '+#10+ 'up and down - playing sounds'+#10+ ''+#10+ '3. Use the left Folder box to click and find new '+#10+ 'Folders with Wav Sound Files in them'+#10+ '____________________'+#10+ ''+#10+ 'WavEar - Freeware', mb_Ok+mb_IconAsterisk); end; Anyway, I found some other code and whacked it in. *All I did was the updated GUI; as always. I get bits of free code. Made lots of freeware programs that I used to have on my Furball Cannery and Arabica websites. And I can't code!!!! And they work!!!! Thanks NET all!

You dingbats are missing the point! The point is, I have a computer running Windows XP SP2 and intend to purchase a new PC WHEN Windows Vista is RELEASED. *That leaves me with an old computer running XP, but NOT CAPABLE of being updated to the full experience of Vista. So I was agitating for a reduced price for a crippled version of Vista.. IE. Aero Express

No. Customer does not know what the shipping cost is. Does Royal Mail cover insurance on goods sent within UK - and Europa? Goods sent outside of your own country will more than likely be required to be personally picked up from the local customs office. You will more than likely be required to open the package. Custom duty may apply to goods that are manufactured in that country and have applied for protection. Maybe Free Trade agreements will change this. Have you checked. Is this why only UK & Europe. So, I buy a lipsick for a quid, post is five bob, and customs protection on cosmetics in my county is 8 schillings. Now my lipsick is not 1 Pound, but 1 Pound 13 schillings. Can I buy it cheaper locally? *A customs agent can give you advice.

Actually, Microsoft Australia did lower the upgrade price of Windows Me, I think for a 30 day period, when it was first released. It cost Aust. $98.00. * I'd be more happy with $20 I was going to buy a new (power reduced Intel M) desktop that would have Vista installed, but that leaves my Notebook running XP. And as my Notebook cannot run Vista in full, should I have to pay full price for another version?

I recently realized that I have not used Windows Paint in over a year. Has it pasted its use-by-date?

That doesn't look like Outlook Express. Do you mean OUTLOOK, which is part of MS Office, as you mention Office Forum?

Windows replacement for Outlook Express has all the hallmarks of a winner! Windows eMail I like it! Not only does it not produce an annoying Splash Screen (which everyone has to Hack out) but it actually KNOWS when it is ON or OFF line. No more Error!!! - you are offline messages. I know I'm offline dingbat, I'm trying to read my mail offline. It's NET AWARE. Heard a lot of, but not known what it does. First up, if you click to read your email from Windows Internet Explorer, the INBOX displays in a NEW TAB on the left. (By default.) You can even switch views to look at incoming messages or read through individual email. WOW! Get me some.... Next up, is the TOTALLY NEW integration of MS Agents composing interface within Windows eMail. It's easy to send talking, thinking, whispering email to all your relatives and friends. Even lovers! And Microsoft is including ALL MS Agent characters plus the speech engine in all new installations of Windows. So you can be sure the recipient of you email will be able to view it correctly. Oh! And wait. Expect two more characters. Brand new. (Think Indiana Jones and Lara Croft types..) If that's not enough, Windows eMail has a MUCH SIMPLIFIED and VERY ENHANCED email stationery composition program built right in. You'll be turning out masterpieces in no time at all!!! ***** So.... When can we expect all this !!!!!!!!!! NEVER NEVER, NEVER, EVER... It's vaporware - and does not exist. *I wish.

Vista Beta 2 is scheduled to be feature complete by September 29, 2005. (Maybe) Vista Beta 2 lockdown mode between October and November 9, 2005. (Maybe) Vista Beta 2 will ship on December 7, 2005. (Maybe) Vista contains the Windows Internet Explorer 7 browser, but the XP IE7 browser is a separate, if parallel software. Beta 1 of both shipped at the same time. So I guess the best and worst case scenario would be Sep 29 to Dec 7... But, I'm hoping for tomorrow on the XP version of Windows Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2. Hope springs eternal, and dies a slow and painful death of strangulation..

I listen to the radio when computing. It only uses 1/2 watt of power. And I never could work Windows Media Player properly. It just seems not designed to get around easily.. Probably just me. And why would you want to watch a movie on a small computer screen ? .::.waiting for the echo..

A modern Pentium 4-based PC (or the AMD equivalent) with 512 MB of RAM and a dedicated graphics card capable of DirectX 9.0 compatibility will run Windows Vista just fine, I was told.

That's not to say I won't buy a NEW PC for Aero Glass, it's just my Notebook will be stuck on XP SP2. I have an old desktop PC now that had 98 SR2 upgraded to ME and it's hard to work with it now after using XP. **I mean this should be really cheap, as it's only for the old PC, doesn't provide the full visual experience and can be packaged in a cardboard slip folder.

The problem was most likely an Extension. These are added value to Firefox, but also may prove it's greatest weakness. Independent Extension developers are not keeping pace with the numerous releases of Firefox. For me, Firefox 1.0.2 was the greatest ever, but now with 1.0.6 I too cannot start the browser without it freezing. Safe Mode works, so therefore proving it must be an Extension. I have always been an IE fan, but am extremely grateful to Firefox for getting Microsoft off its bum to update its browser. *I battling along with IE7 B1 at the moment, so this proves I must be a true fan. Also, I am an ordinary person, so I need eye candy. Get something out that looks pretty, soon. When you buy a car you are attracted to the look and color first... You shouldn't be of-course, you should rip the bonnet up..and...check out the thing-a-ma-jig.

IE7b1 has a problem with History and must have rolled back to 6. ===============================================
