Mine's March 19th.

Yes, as a Canadian I am very glad to see that Sale and Pelletier got the medal they deserved. Let's hope that the judging in the ice dance is fair, and that all the skaters get the placings that they merit.
About 30 min - 1 hr every day. Mostly checking to see if there are any new skins I want to try.
Teach group fitness (step aerobics, high/low impact aerobics) Workout on my own or with my fiance. We love going to the gym together and doing weights and cardio. Reading fantasy and historical fiction. <img src

I know a lot of people who are just moving to Windows 2000 now. They want stability, but they don't want XP, and so they are choosing Win2K.
As a new member of the skinning community, I would like to see it continue to be inclusive, as opposed to exclusive. I don't know if I'll ever have the time or inclination to create my own skins, but I know I appreciate all the work that the skin creators put into the creation of their skins for others to use. I have felt very welcomed here at the Wincustomize site, and I would hate to see that change.
Hey paxx, I didn't know you were a fellow Canadian. I'm always delighted when I encounter fellow Canucks on the web.
Thanks for putting this link on the front page. The linkware/shareware graphics community has been fighting copyright issues on the web for several years now, and they have put together many excellent resources for artists who want to protect their work. This is just one of the many valuable sites out there.
I am so sick of the XP look that I am delighted that WindowBlinds exists. The skin authors can do so much more with WindowBlinds. XP hasn't been out very long, but I am already tired of all the XP-looking skins and themes. Boring.
There are a bunch of great resources on the web that seek to protect the copyright of digital artists. Maybe the skinning community should check some of these out: http://www.rightsforartists.com/siteindex.html http://cyber-crew.com/copyright/ http://www.alc-web.com/collections/collections.html http://www.whatiscopyright.org/ http://www.a-w.org/ http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html
Artists who make 'linkware' graphics have dealt with very similar issues, and have created many web sites to help educate users. Maybe the skinning community could take their examples and create similar programs for this community. Here are some links to check out: http://www.whatiscopyright.org/ http://moyra.com/jewels/eleventh.html http://www.rightsforartists.com/ http://greyday.org/ http://www.widowsweb.com/widows/plea.html
paxx's suggestion is an excellent one. Buttons do attract more attention than simple text links.
Skins for XP are fine - it's all of the skins out there that mimic the XP look that I'm sick of.
Thank goodness I'm not the only one who is sick of all this XP stuff! Ugghh. I'd really like to see more non-XP stuff, but that's what seems to be in 'vogue' right now. Hopefully this 'phase' will pass.
Looks good. Colours: white, grey, and blue would be my suggestions. And make sure you have some in small or medium for us petite ladies.
