Hi Lobster and All - I thought of your Apple XP computer today, Lob, when i booted up Lizzie's laptop to try and get dsl working...
There, in the bottom left corner of her XP screen where it should have said Start, was a pretty Apple icon... And the wallpaper was that lovely translucent blue Apple swirly screen. That's a real mind-warp, having her Dell XP look exactly like a Mac! ================ Yes. As far as I know you can get an apple theme for XP and therefore get it to look like a Mac (my XP looks like Win 98 as I turn off all the flowery stuff sometimes I prefer the speed - sometimes the pizazz) ================= Should we call it Windows OS X? ========= There is a rival free Linux called BSD and the Mac OS X is based on that (it is a form of Unix) However by calling it Windows XOS we are reminded of Dos BSD runs Linux Unix software ========= And a tech question. Last night i launched hotmail on FireFox and received many warnings about invalid site certificates for hotmail.com. The messages were telling me that there was an unexpected redirection in process, perhaps to capture passwords. Has anyone else experienced redirects with hotmail using FireFox? ==== Dunno anyone? ======= Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving Day to everyone, American or not! Today, the turkey was spared... i had fish with stuffing/lemon sauce and butternut squash and salad with Ken's SteakHouse dressing, and garlic potatoes and cranberry bread and a hot fudge sundae. mmmmm. ========== Happy Harvest Festival (the English equivalent) not a big festival here at all - most people who are non-Christian would not know it. I had potato and onion soup with yogurt (garlic, onions and jeera - cummin and parley, yogurt and olive oil at the end) What is butternut squash? ========== love and peace, joyce ========== Lob My latest computer adventures http://chronologyprotectionagency.blogspot.com/ If you are gonna USE only one Linux to impress your cat I suggest Beatrix - last time I booted from CD it took 3 minutes but you can now download the ISO burn it to CD and install it on a Hard Disk (be careful of the free software on this page - if you don't know what or why to use this stuff - don't) http://www.watsky.net/lagniappe.html ============ ------------------------ Yahoo!
