New box. Joy!:D
« on: 5 November 2005, 19:13 »
Yay! I just got a new box. It's fairly good. Got WindowsXP installed but it has most of the Vista GUI. It looks vuagely familar, mabey the :macos: users will recognize it. I'll post system specs later, it 2:10 am here.
Someone will have to tell me how to take screenshots so I can post them. One more thing, it won't load these forums, I'm posting from my old box, it gives me "the document contains no data" or "404 error" and other stuff.

It's the GUI for Windows Vista. And yes it does strongly resemble the Mac OS GUI. It came with the box.

I actually don't see much in common with OSX and Vista. And I've seen alot of screenshots.

Thought I'd be nice to 56k users.
Specs:
Pentium 4 3GHz
17" flat screen
510 MB DDR RAM
128MB 64 bit Radeon 9250 graphics card
160GB hard drive
16x dual layer LG DVD burner
And a rather spiffy optical mouse. If you want/need anything else in the way of screenshots or comp specs just ask.
EDIT: I just realised something. This comp has all my OS needs. I mean transuculent menues, how can you beat that?[/sarcasm]

Easy.

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

EEEEEEw... looks like a Mac OS X designed by someone who can't design...
I'm often asked why I hate Microsoft - "What did they ever do to you?". Well, I'll tell you. They made dodgy programs and standards which have wasted hundreds of hours of my time involving lost work in crashes and stupidity.
