Reply to Should Windows 98/ME be supported? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Windows 98, for many people, provides far superior performance than XP would (we've all read/heard the XP horror stories...) so I can understand why people wouldn't upgrade. There's the money issue. However, I don't see why you can't just give some warnings like "win2k+ recommended" etc... That'd probably stop the comments about it running funny on 98 as they'd know it wasn't made for it. Eventually developers are going to have to stop supporting old versions of windows altogether, but

Reply to WindowBlinds 3.4 released! Transform Windows in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Ok ok, this may not be the right place to ask, but if I buy this "ODNT" for 50 bucks, does that entitle me to the updates of the apps until they reach another version, or until they reach the same x.z version as it was at when I bought it. By this I mean: If I bought ODNT now, would I get windowBlinds 4.4 for free, or only 3.9 or 4? Do I get 10 updates "free" or just up to the next major version release?

Reply to What makes a website slow? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

On the site's that I build (in PHP) I use GZip output compression. It envolves putting 1 line in an .htaccess file (Apache only, I believe) and makes it so that instead of a person receiving the actual size of the page (in my case 40kb, usually) they receive a page that has been compressed (a smidge under 6kb) which saves me a lot on bandwidth usage I don't get enough traffic to see if it slows the servers

Reply to Mozilla 1.0 Officially Released! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I like Moz, but I don't like: The splash screen (it's both ugly AND annoying!) The fact that I can't select images on HTML pages! Why only text? WHY?! The fact that I can't use Hotmail as my mail client, and UltraEdit as my source viewer. That is all IE loads quickly, renders all pages nicely (unless they're seriously fubar, which can only be blamed on the drunken

Reply to WinCustomize VERSION 2 Next Monday in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Neato! Just wondering, but if it is going to be significantly faster, than you must be running Linux with PHP and the Zend enhancer, eh? Surely the fact that the current site is ASP is holding you back. But, as long as it's faster than who really cares! Whoopee! hehe

Well then. Just restart you comp and hold down CTRL or both of them. It may be the shift keys, too. Well, try them both. You'll get prompted to choose a way to continue. You can also try pressing "DEL" to enter setup which will also let you abort and enter DOS. Good luck. Get WINDOWS 2000!!!

Here's a thought: get rid of ME and get win2k!! ME is the worst OS to leave the MS building! Win2k on the other hand is their best by far. XP is just littlered with crap.
