Fa65*BFh: If you're worried about where to put your paragraph breaks, just throw one in every few lines. Doesn't necessarily have to be a change of thought or anything. Just something to break up the long text. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure Ford doesn't have a GM link on its site and Pepsi doesn't have a Coke link on its site, also. For that matter, you won't find MS links on Apple or Linux sites, either.
Hotmail has nothing to do with XP, though it's long been integrated in OE *if* you choose to use it. And yes, MSN Messenger can be disabled and/or removed.
Looking at the announcement on the main page, and also looking the way SKINBASE.org is set up, why aren't the themes displayed like any other category? That is, why not show thumbnails of each theme, along with a Zoom option, and allow you to select your theme that way, rather than the trial and error approach now? As more themes are added to the site, selecting them by name only will become even more of a problem. It might even be cool to allow comments for each theme. I'm
My thumb bar is getting very small in this thread.
Obviously a couple of those Smiles aren't working.
They're trying to force you to buy Object Desktop.
! That's funny!
what?
You don't have to use passport or .NET, so that's a non-issue. What other IE6 privacy concerns do you have?

FlipNET: You just proved my point. You're paranoid about WPA, when MS could easily be spying on you without WPA. I still haven't heard WHY they would be spying on you, though. You have a good day, too.
Yahoo! Groups has an option to order prints for any image you or someone else uploaded to the photos section of the group, but I haven't looked into it to see what's offered or their prices.
Just turned on ClearType for the first time. Wow! What a difference! Looks almost like a I got a new monitor.
Funny, most of the Linux Lovers in the newsgroups are posting with Outlook Express. I think a lot of people are in love with the *idea* of Linux, but not so much the OS itself. It's an awesome OS, as long as they don't have to use it. Not everybody, mind you, but a lot of people.

They just barely dropped support for Windows 3.1, so I don't think they'll stop supporting W2K anytime soon.

FlipNET: If you don't trust MS to live by their own contractual agreement, then how do you know your current Windows isn't spying on you (for what purpose, I have no idea)? If that was really their intent, they wouldn't need WPA to do it. They could build it in so that even firewalls wouldn't see it. If you're that paranoid, why use anything but open source?
I took a year of typing and got an A, and have been using computers for years, so I should be pretty fast. Have to wait till tomorrow to take that test, though. Too tired now.

Is ICQPlus really so popular that you need TWO sections for it?
I don't see it. Must be blocked in my hosts file.

FlipNET: I think MS makes it pretty clear what information they're gathering. http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWSXP/guide/activation.asp They couldn't possibly be gathering personal information, because none is available at the time of activation (assuming a new install). Registration comes later and it's clearly stated that registration is optional. If you don't think it's an anti-piracy thing, just what do you think it's for? Again, I'm not pro-WPA. I just think the

FlipNET: I don't like WPA either, but exactly how is it an intrusion into your private life? No personal information is gathered. The only thing collected is generic IDs of some of your hardware, so that changes can be monitored. I get the complaints about the hassles that come with WPA, especially for people who like to tinker with their hardware. I get the complaints about servers and/or phone activation possibly being unavailable at the time of install. I get the complaints abou
Yeah, let them get their own porn!
When I was trying out wallpaper managers, I found a couple that didn't play well, but since I hadn't tried them on any other OS, I can't really pin the blame on WXP. Same with a couple screen savers I've tried that didn't work. Caesar FTP server is another example that was flakey, but I'd never used it before (and it was before I knew about the compatibility mode, so that may have fixed it). As far as important stuff, and applications in general that I was using on W2K, I can't think
