That's a new theme...

I have Royale set up, but I don't recall Noir's start button being orange... unless I'm missing updates here.

Zune theme - it's just an orange and finished version of Noir. Also one of the only other official MS themes.

I used to use it, but the oversized taskbar and titlebar drive me crazy (and it doesn't look as good with smaller sizes). This is what I use now.


Also, win for the screenshot which references itself. (I think I actually did that before a few times when I was able to.)

Yeah, I like the Zune style. That one you posted is pretty good, though.

Here are the specs of mine, out of comparison, which I bought 3 years ago for $900:
HP Pavilion dv8000
- 512 MB RAM (now 2 GB, a $200 upgrade)
- 1.8GHz AMD Turion 64
- 80 GB disk space, although 12 GB of that was originally reserved for recovery shit
- ATI Radeon Xpress 200M (128 MB dedicated memory + 128 MB shared memory, because I willed it so)
- An internal fan that surprisingly hasn't failed yet

It's pretty funny because those people in my family that have laptops have the younger brothers to this laptop; same general design, but better specs in almost every department

The only VM I have is dosbox, which has a copy of Windows 3.11 for Workgroups Wankers installed. (I'm so witty, I changed the startup logo! hohohoho!)

Anyway, I use it for standard retrogaming, the games that need DOS, or are from 16-bit windows and break in XP (like The Even More Incredible Machine, for instance)

I haven't used it in a while though...

I tend to have a few issues with DOS VMs and running my games - primarily, setting up shares and CD drives.

It was also a while back so I could be forgetting some things, though. I'm only worried about it because of Turrican 2 - there's a very nasty and noticable sound desync...

I laughed at that.

Now I'm reminded somehow of the time I tried to color the WINLOGO.BMP wallpaper.

I'd be able to do a far, far better job than that attempt. I don't think I ever even finished it. :|

Aparrently this router is so incredibly bass ackwards that the firewall works better with DHCP than, you know, statically assigned addresses.

Of course, that doesn't excuse the fact that it got my current MAC, IP, and a bunh of other shit completely wrong but it's a start I guess.
