Title: New box. Joy!:D
Post by: Dark_Me 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.

Post by: Dark_Me on 5 November 2005, 19:29: It's the GUI for Windows Vista. And yes it does strongly resemble the Mac OS GUI. It came with the box.

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]
