A second-hand Amiga 500, only to play better RPGs than the Genesis or NES ones. I was so hooked I bought a 1200 3 months later. Then I wished I had a real monitor, a hard drive and some more RAM. And I realized it was going to cost me as much as a PC. Seeing as Origin had just released Ultima 7 on PC only, I bought (reluctantly) an AMD DX40. And I never looked back...

Tarkus, I agree with you. I like XP, even though there is some more customization and optimization work to do than with Win2k. After all, an hour or so of tweaking isn't a big deal.

Paxx, I listened to you and I wrote to Peter Stuer. And... guess what? He's already developping a new IconShop version with XP support! But he can't test it because he don't own a WinXP version. Needless to say, I was glad to help and... lo and behold! It works like a breeze! You know what? I'm happy Thanks aga
Thanks for the links, Paxx! I downloaded both, but no luck. IconShop can't save the alpha channel and ResCafe won't even run on my machine. Maybe I'll try a Mac emulator to run IconBuilder BTW, isn't it weird that icon editors are so conservative while there are so much customizing programs pushing the W
The new XP icon format is really nice (24 bits + 8 bits alpha channel). I hope we'll soon see a lot of these. In the meantime, is there a program to convert MacOS X icons to XP icons? Or maybe some tips? Gif Movie Gear doesn't seem to be able to open Mac icons
