Mine's a really cool one of WW Link and Zelda fighting Ganondorf. I don't remember where I got it but I like it.

Bill, your icons are like a big collection of all my nightmares combined into one. Thank you very much for making me sick.

Heh...I don't have so much Microsoft stuff on my gaming PC...

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #29 on:** November 26, 2003, 03:17:59 PM »

No, actually I was talking about:

AIM
RealOne
Quicktime
DivX Player
Windows Messenger
Microsoft Outlook
Internet Explorer

Of those, only Quicktime really gets used much, and that's because the blasted thing just won't go away. I hate them all just the same.

Actually, that's not true. I DESPISE Internet Explorer, Outlook, and RealOne. I HATE the others.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #30 on:** November 26, 2003, 03:22:31 PM »

AIM - Hate it, but a few of my friends use it...
RealOne - I really like RealOne...what do you use for mp3/vid playback?
Quicktime - was already on my comp...never use it
DivX Player - never use it, except in some rare cases I need to(like PGC vids)
Windows Messenger - It's how I talk to Aussies!

Microsoft Outlook - I can't hide this for some reason...I might just delete it
Internet Explorer - It's easy to use, and it hasn't bothered me too much yet...I might change whenever I have more time...

I like outlook just fine, I just don't feel like learning other programs over. I had a hell of a time with star office, just got tired of it.

I despise it, just like all RealPlayers ever made. It's bloody useless spyware infested crap. I use Windows Media Player for vids, and Winamp for all audio.

It's ALMOST as bad as RealPlayer. The thing keeping it above is the lack of spyware, and the higher functionality. I still dislike it. Good man for not using it when possible.

Windows Media Player. Less buggy, faster.

I use webmail personally, but if I did use an email manager, I would use Thunderbird.

The most detestable of all programs ever made. Words simply cannot describe how much I HATE that program. God only knows why a browser from the f*cking STONE AGE is still the #1 most popular. Oh, I remember! PEOPLE ARE LAZY BASTARDS!!!!

Upgrade.

My desktop

A bit sparse at the moment.

Uglydot · « **Reply #34 on:** November 26, 2003, 06:55:13 PM »

I generally run linux as my primary desktop OS(slack 9) and I found Thunderbird to be rather slow. It is quite early along the line (0.3 last I used) and setup mostly identical to Outlook. Similar features, similar look. If you have Windows on your pc, it really doesn't matter if you use another included app.

I use Winamp 2.0/XMMS for audio playback

Xine/WMP for movies

MozillaFirebird for my browser

Still hate KDE...FLUXBOX FOREVER

Behold! The sleekness of my mac beats all your desktops!

Now i would like to point out the important features. First not the placement of icons. then note the name of my computer and it's lovely icon.
Also see the graphical bar down the bottom, thats my dock, notice the way that both minimised browser windows display small versions of the pages contained therin. Legend of Zelda RPG is highlighted cos thats where my cursor is.
Up the top left corner is something that should be familiar to most of you by now, the small window mode of iTunes.

BoboThePenguin · « **Reply #39 on:** November 27, 2003, 01:51:47 AM »

**cough** I seem to have a dock also.... In windows... and iTunes...

Macs are'nt so spiffy!

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #40 on:** November 27, 2003, 02:10:32 AM »

Here's mine, with a wallpaper that suitably highlights a coming, life-changing event.
And Grey Ninja, if you look carefully, there's something wrong with my desktop

My Preciousssss!

Berny · « **Reply #41 on:** November 27, 2003, 02:45:13 AM »

I have that same desktop, Termin8! I will put it up now and I'm not changing it until December 17.

Something other than the fact that you seem to be Microsoft's bitch?

ThePerm · « **Reply #43 on:** November 27, 2003, 09:13:19 AM »

actually bobo if macs got rid of the doc and went back to the bar in the upper right corner and like had a finder that was mroe like windows explorer it would be totally awesome.

I really want to show you guys my desktop, but Geocities doesn't want to let me open page builder to upload any pictures.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #45 on:** November 27, 2003, 10:02:48 AM »

eh? Why can't you just zip it, upload it, and send us the link?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #46 on:** November 27, 2003, 10:04:35 AM »

I think that's his problem...He can't upload it onto Geocities...

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #47 on:** November 27, 2003, 10:29:22 AM »

page builder is for creating HTML files though. File Manager is the one that uploads stuff.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #48 on:** November 27, 2003, 10:37:13 AM »

I can't upload anything- I can't even access the program to change my page. That's the problem.

manunited4eva22 · « **Reply #49 on:** November 27, 2003, 01:24:22 PM »

Send it to me, mouse, and I will upload it on mine.
