    You made that? Or is this an organized effort? If so, is there a web site?

    No I didn't make it. Just found a msg board when searching earlier and saw a post by someone with Big Image Graphics. Got it from him. (Someone else sent it to him.)

    Just thought I'd help make it more available.

    They had this up earler:

    Letter to husband

    in Funny Farm

    Posted · Edited by alittlecrazy

    To my darling husband,

    Before you return from your overseas trip I just want to let you know about the small accident I had with the pick up truck when I turned into the driveway. Fortunately it's not too bad and I really didn't get hurt, so please don't worry too much about me.

    I was coming home from Wal-Mart, and when I turned into the driveway I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake. The garage door is slightly bent, but the pick up fortunately came to a halt when it bumped into your car.

    I am really sorry, but I know with your kind-hearted personality you will forgive me. You know how much I love you and care for you my sweetheart. I am enclosing a picture for you.

    I cannot wait to hold you in my arms again.

    Your loving wife.

    256 RAM

    in Windows XP

    Posted · Edited by alittlecrazy

    I too use all freeware for security with WinXP. Avast and ZA along with the normal anti-spyware scans. Use Opera to browse. Have been known to "SWD" (surf while drunk). Often suprised the next day when the scans came up with nothing, (Kaspersky online scan does as well).

    My wife has an older laptop with 256 RAM, uses AVG and ZA, Firefox with NoScript for her. Runs fine, not really that much slower than mine with 512mb RAM. I don't expect her to have any serious problems.

    (That's what I was originally going to post, but...)

    --------------

    After reading back through this thread from Pidiot's first post on. It is completely obvious to me that the intentions were to cleverly incite a flame war about Windows and Linux. It started out with a seemingly innocent (and legitimate) question and then dragged on with continued questions to instigate a flame war and culminate with the intended promotion of Linux.

    Personally, I don't like that and wouldn't expect to see that here.

    As I'm sure many members here do, I use them both and like them both.

    Pidiot, most folks here already know about the security differences between Windows and Linux. People have their reasons for using Windows. That's all there is to it.

    What gave it away to me was the statement that Norton found "2963" (post #5) viruses that the others did not. That's impossible. So there's not only the intended bashing of Windows (which is so common it's a complete bore) but the bashing of quality security freeware as well.

    What also caught my attention is that anyone who knows enough about pc's to install Linux and mount a FAT32 Windows partition (actually it's better just to make a FAT32 storage partition to swap files between the two OSs), would know that SP2 wouldn't "speed up a computer".

    (from #20) ... And actually I didn't notice any difference between SP1 and SP2 except that SP2 didn't speed up my computer.

    What convinced me Pidiot, is the way you went back and forth between speaking knowledgeably and inexperienced.

    (from #36) ... In order to forget about viruses existence it is sufficient to make the system unwritable for a unauthorized user.

    There was some time wasted here Pidiot, by knowledgeable people honestly (if not naively), trying to help. I think that's very inconsiderate. I only ask for help when I'm completely confounded and I can't find what I'm looking for by searching. I'm nowhere near being an expert, but only posted for help on forums a few times. I'd feel bad if I didn't try other avenues first.

    (from #36) --- I know that Windows people are very hostile to other OSs.

    I have NEVER known that to be true. In fact it's usually the other way around.

    (from #33) .... OK guys, I finish this topic. I am not going to reply insulting messages any more.

    I read through the posts and did not see anyone insulting you, Pidiot.

    I guess you didn't think anyone would catch on, did you Pidiot.

    --- Moderators: if you think my assessment is wrong then pardon me, and edit or remove this post as you see fit. I really don't think I'm wrong though.

    @alittlecrazy Very nice desktop. I must admit a preference for natural over created artwork. The style and color you used is a very nice blend even though the olive color normally makes me cringe. The muted icons are a good selection also. Overall, a good composition.

    Thanks DL. I appreciate the comments.

    I found the group of photos I mentioned online at jibjab.com. They're really good.

    Tis.....A Heavy Metal Thang!

    Wall: K-Steel Dove

    Skin: Metal Vista...(Recolored Slightly-Blinds 5)

    Hey, Dagonet', I don't suppose you remember and can tell me where you got the Metal Vista skin. I made numerous searches for it and only came up with a screenshot at skinbase.org.

    I even went to Raymi's homepage (here) and only found a screenshot there as well. (I can't really read it.)

    Thanks!

    XP Sound Schemes

    Its been awhile since I looked at this thread. Did you ever get it figured out? You should be able to just right-click on the "Robotz.inf" (Setup Information) file and hit "install" and the .wav files should go to your "%SystemRoot%\Media" folder (i.e. "C:\Windows\Media") and then would be accessible in your "Control Panel" - "Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices" to change the sound scheme.

    You could then just delete all the files that were extracted into your Programs folder, including the .wav files, Setup Information (Robotz.inf) and the Readme. Shouldn't be a problem.

    (You could always just extract the files again in an empty folder to see exactly what was there)

    @alittlecrazy Where can i get Robotz, without having to install the Extras? If there is a place let me know, thx.

    You can get the individual files from that link I posted ---- CD ROM Extras.... ---- :rolleyes:

    About halfway down that page you should see the sound schemes (under "Multimedia") Robotz.exe is there.

    btw: after you put the .exe file in a empty folder (doesn't matter where), double-click it and a ms-dos window will open and give instructions. :)
