Argh! Not creepy Connie! I really hated those AOL ads.
My first computer was a Packard Bell 286, with an added math processor to give it the power of a 386. Woo! It ran on DOS and had Windows 2000BC installed. I don't think it understood me very well, but I was very fond of it all the same.

Wow, it's been years since I saw Connie! She freaked me out, her dress was pretty unique as well.

Has anyone noticed how Connie seems to be in the BBC1 Lawn Circles ident...?
thank goodness. Just as long as she's kept away from the Internet, that dress she wears can't connect up and suck more people into AOL.

Your desktop is unacceptable. Don't you think it would be better if it the icons were organised and renamed using a system of efficient codes?

Also remove the shortcuts which are clearly available on your "quick launch" toolbar. I appreciate you say you haven't had time, but really - many years to fail to do a momentary task is slackness beyond belief.

I miss Windows 95 / 98. Simpler times back then.

I am simple, but I don't remember easier times back then

On a geeky note (well it had to happen some time lol

) one thing I REALLY miss about Windows 98 is that when you clicked once on a file in explorer, the left hand pane would list the file name complete with the extension. So you could leave file extensions turned off for prettyness, but could still readily see the extension of an individual file if you needed to. The Windows 2000/ME, XP and Vista UIs have all omitted that, so you either have to have file extensions permanently turned on for everything, or you have no way of seeing them at all except through the command prompt.
