Title: Once again... a desktop thread.
Post by: (e) on June 12, 2003, 09:57:27 PM: I got a new OS so I spiffed it up. Its not Xp or 2000- which the bootle- ahem cd didnt work. So I got ME.. Well here it is, I have a blue mood going on.

I got all my icons, skins, and wallpapers from http://www.wincustomize.com. Its a pretty kickass site.

Right now I can only save it as a .bmp I have to fix my computer still :(

Well post yours, and dont worry mine wont be a waste of time- I feel accomplished on it, I think it looks great.

Post by: §ôµÏG®ïñD on June 12, 2003, 10:08:12 PM: Dood, WinME is the MOST buggy M$ os ever made on the face of the planet.. Win98se wipes the floor with it hands down. Xp is the most stable OS atm as well as 2000.

Not sure about the next os release. Think it\'s 2004/2005. I don\'t bother with new Operating systems till they come out.
