Okay, I have urges as well. But enough about that for now... My HDD set up is fine, but I have a DVD, CD-RW and Virtual CD (a product of having Roxio installed.) They are F, G and H respectively. I would like to reassign them to X,Y and Z. In Win98 this was trivial. Where is this functionality in Windows XP Pro? I don't see it in Disk Management. Thanks.

Hmm. Paxx, you know that I respect your work and your opinions, but there is a certain lack of logic here. Isn't the name for managed capitalism socialism? "When Gates earns 4 million dollars per day (and he does), that means that probably because of that money he just gained a great number of people just died of hunger or other causes of poverty BECAUSE he earned that money." Extending that principle, would you say that Windows causes famine? On the basis of history, I would offer to

My point in all this is that Wincustomize offers a place for everyone. Depite the 12 Principals (sic) of the Scene, skinning is no longer the province of the skinners and hackers. It never really was, but that is a different issue. At Wincustomize skinning is a community thing that attacts a diverse cross-section. Each of the almost one million visitors is capable of contributing in their own way. If we let them. And we as a community will be better for each new member. <br

I don't skin (did I say that already before?), I don't code, I can't make graphics... That is exactly why I DO comment. Every artist that I have ever known appreciates feedback. Elfkura, you said that you don't know what artists will find helpful. Tell them what you like and wha tyou don't like. Nikos, if ever I fail top comment, it is because you have left me speechless!

Or create new DesktopX Objects. Or make beautiful wallpapers. Or... well, do anything that requires a talent for the visual arts. *Sigh* (koop gives his best pitiful look. He will never be part of "the scene." Not l337-enough.) However, I do believe that I contribute to this community. I post. I comment on skins. I am often moved to write thank you notes to authors whose work I find particuarly moving. If something is wrong, I try to fix it. In short, I do what

Since Shoggut bandied the word "evil" around a while ago, I have thinking about this. There are many shades of evil. There is real evil. Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot were evil. They not only committed acts of incredible violence, they did so with gusto. Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, Mao, men who took human life simply because it was convenient, were evil. John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, David Berkowitz, men who were possessed by demons the rest of us cannot fathom, committed evil. Fathers and mot

Let me offer one from my days as a starving actor: Art should be obscure and misunderstood. Anything that is actually liked by people is commercial and should be dismissed. This a variant on the Groucho Marx principle that states: "I would never belong to any club that would have me as a member."

Americanisms aside, there are New York-isms. The next time you visit New York (pronounced Nu Yawk) try an Egg Cream. This delicious drink contains no Egg and no Cream. Instead it is milk, chocolate syrup (U-Bet brand preferred) and carbonated water. The carbonated water is never referred to as soda, but is called seltzer. If you would like a glass of seltzer water by itself, you just ask for a "Two Cents Plain." Of course it costs more than two cents. I must explain that New Yo

I first met BoXXi (Bryan Cook) several months ago when I wrote to him to thank him for his beautiful wallpapers. He wrote me back and we began a correspondence. During the time since, Bryan never ceased to amaze me with the brilliance of his art and the greatness of his spirit. Knowing him has been a priviledge. BoXXi only came to the community lately, but he nevertheless was more than willing to contribute as a Wizop. He helped everyone that he could. BoXXi is not taking a vacation. A

The browser is free. It is to promote a television show which, while it features personnel from the Armed Forces, focuses on athletic competition. It is intended, I beleive, to provide a form of escape from stress. AboutPhace also offers browsers with NFL and other sports logos. Peace.

I use Trillian at work (Stardock) and I love it! It is a great app and when version 0.70 came out, I posted the announcement on Wincustomize. Whenever possible, I try to support Independent Software Developers and especially those that create skinnable applications.

Apparently, Paxx, there is trouble in Paradise. Tony Stratton of TGTSoft also is quoted as saying that "We are barely scraping buy here, if you know what I mean..." over at http://www.themexp.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=499 (The misspelling of "by" as "buy" in the quote may reflect wishful thinking.) Perhaps the end is near???

I am 46. As far as I can remember. I fall between BoXXi and Jafo in age, and better company no man could have. My son is a member of the community. We talked tonight at dinner about how he wants to learn more Flash and HTML. Ah, that made this old heart feel good! Besides that, he plays classic rock on his electric guitar! Life is, indeed, good.
