[quote who="Mirsguy" reply="5" id="2580149"]I don't understand why people think Impulse is bad. There's nothing about it that even resembles adware. [/quote] Don't know what you call adware, but I've had it popup an ad for some sort of game software one time. After that I close the program and don't see it until reboot ('bout once a week). Jafo, I suspect you guys use Impulse to thwart piracy, but I just did a google for "descapes" and saw many sites listing cracks, etc. f

[quote quoting="post"] guns are on the increase and knives are used frequently. it doesnt bode well for the future at all [/quote] Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't guns strictly illegal in Great Britain? The liberals here (Washington State, USA) keep preaching about how crime will vanish if we ban all guns. I find my self doubtful of this idea. I like your idea of caning a lot better, but those same liberals say it bruises their young egos, or some su

I want to see the triggered dreams working again. Vista lake triggered is one of my favorites. I use none of the new effects as I don't like distortions of images (old time still photographer) and so I really can't see why this was taken out to begin with. Maybe you can make two versions if you can't make one that will do both. Or maybe make the old version available again so I can reinstall over the new one.

[quote who="starkers" reply="35" id="2565192"]I was! It's just that I'm not alone and quite a few of us here can be tarred with the same 'latter years' brush. It's not that we can't learn all this new fangled technolergy... it just takes us a lot longer than it did with the trusty abacus. And given I was never very mathematical, I never mastered that, either. In fact, I found it so confusing I found another use for the beads... wonder if my g/f at the time ever figured

Reply 22-Um, there is one good reason to upgrade sooner... rather than later. In our latter years (and I'm assuming with a 35 y/o son that you're in yours) our minds aren't as sharp as they once were... the longer you leave it the steeper the learning curve. Heh, speak fer yerself! ;) Reply 24-Interesting, my Father who was a casualty of said war would never have called a discussion by people of free will's, drivel.

Quoting reply #18 (If they are that old they need emulators....why use XP then? Win 98....95....heck use the C64 if nostalgia is your thing.) Neither my C-64 or Atari 800 will support my 42" big screen and I can't see well enough to enjoy a smaller screen these days. I have emulators that run both as well as consoles like the 2600 through the Playstation 2 all in one neat package. But the main reason is every time they make a new version of windows, they make it harder

I guess you're entitled to your opinion, I seem to recall spending 28 months in South Viet Nam fighting for your right to drivel all you want, That 35 yo son likes win 7 because he makes his living as an IT guy for a large organization and they probably wouldn't need an IT guy if they didn't upgrade their machines every couple of years. I'll stick with my own opinion "if it ain't broke don't fix it." :)

[quote who="Jafo" reply="9" id="2562973"]I'm running XP very well off a 512 gb SSD drive and it's a lot faster than my son's windows 7 machine and runs better to boot Anything would run better on a 512gig SSD. Anyone who thinks XP and/or Vista is a better OS than 7 is living in Lala land. [/quote] Better for who? Neither Vista or 7 run half the emulation programs I use or the old games I play, even on "XP" mode. That's why I dumped it off the brand new machi

Oh my! A breath of fresh air--somebody actually told the truth for once :) You vote with your wallet, if you wanna keep making Bill Gates rich keep buying every little revision of his operating system he comes out with, I won't. I might add, hard drive technology's time is limited as well, I'm running XP very well off a 512 gb SSD drive and it's a lot faster than my son's windows 7 machine and runs better to boot. :)

Okay, I'll do that. I must be a geek too as I have a half dozen with various degrees of non-functionality :) My fav is an HP Ipaq 2795b that I used a hacked driver on so it does 32 gb sd cards. Add the 32 gb compact flash it also has and it has more capacity than my laptop. Been stuck in the hospital a couple times and man it is borrrring! ;)

Reply to Timed .dreams no longer work. in Windows XP WinCustomize Forums

So what happens with the 15 or 20 triggered dreams we already have? I'm sorry, but it seems ludicrous to remove functionality and call it an improvement. So this "replacement" is it going to support the art we already have? Makes me think about the way M$ "improved" the pocket pc. Now nobody wants one, just my 2 cents. ;)

Reply to Timed .dreams no longer work. in Windows XP WinCustomize Forums

I wonder when they intend to fix it? The timed/triggered dreams are really nice, not to mention all the work you guys went through to make them. I would think that a bug that serious would have been sorted out when they beta tested it. Thanks for responding, hopefully the admins will see this and put a bug in someone's ear for a fix.

Any ideas? I've updated all video drivers.
