Am I running a Mac or am I running Windows? Actually, I got some very nifty skinning programs for Windows XP and now it looks almost exactly like Mac OSX. Sure, I like using Windows but Macs look perdy. Comments?

You're definitely using Windows. You can tell by the icon fonts, the dock looks kind of crappy and chunky, the menus at the top of the screen have one letter underlined just like Windows (stupid), you have PowerDVD, and you have Doom 3 (Mac is not for games, it's for kicking ass).

Will Power turned me on to the Mac skin for Windows a while back, but I didn't care much for it. If I want to pretend I'm using a Mac, I'll use the actual Mac. When I am using Windows, I prefer for it to behave like Windows. That way I know what to expect. [Smile]

I took this picture of a theatre turned bingo hall in the Northwest Highway and Bachman Lake area of Dallas. I thought it was cool that the "theatre parking" sign still stood, busted neon and all.

Any DFW residents know the name of that old theatre?

It's a combination of software from www.stardock.com . You can try it all out, but to unlock certain features for the main one, WindowBlinds, you have to buy it, or just know the right spots on the internet. [Big Grin]

The cool thing about the programs is that you can get more than Mac skins, but all kinds of wild stuff. It's pretty cool how much these programs let you change the windows desktop.

One other program you'll need is called Y's Shadow, which gives the windows, taskbar, etc. a drop shadow. Even if you just run a regular Windows look, this program makes it all look very slick. Just Google for Y's Shadow and you'll find it.

The only Dallas area drive-in I can name from memory is the Astro Drive-In.

When do you folks actually see your wallpaper? I see my main screen at boot and for a split second if I use a screen icon to launch a program. Otherwise it's covered with at least a half dozen full screen windows at all times. In other words, why would I care what the background is?
