As far as I know you can get an apple theme for XP
and therefore get it to look like a Mac
I did not know that! Haven't played around with the themes on my xp at all yet. My old XP at work last year had a plain desktop BUT had that wonderful tubular bells screensaver that takes us to the multiverse or something like it.
(my XP looks like Win 98 as I turn off all the flowery stuff
sometimes I prefer the speed - sometimes the pizazz)
My XP also looks like my Win98, but the 98 has a lily photograph as the wallpaper and the xp has a magnolia. I should switch them around one day just to confuse myself.

There is a rival free Linux called BSD
and the Mac OS X is based on that
(it is a form of Unix)
I'd heard people say that OS X is unix... Does the B in BSD stand for Berkley?
However by calling it Windows XOS
we are reminded of Dos
:)
BSD runs Linux Unix software

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?
The problem has not recurred since i cleared cookies and cache and history in FireFox and ran spyware doctor and rebooted. Probably a transient something or another. Thanks.

Happy Harvest Festival
(the English equivalent)
not a big festival here at all
- most people who are non-Christian would
not know it.
Happy Harvest Festival! I like holidays that have to do with planting and growing things and food.
The Jewish equivalent is in October? Or is it late September?
Is there a Buddhist equivalent?
I am reading the prequel to The DaVinci code, and he is talking about religions conquering new lands and transmuting the local calendar of holidays and rituals to accommodate those of the conquerors. He explains how Jesus was born in March but Christmas Day corresponded to the equinox holiday already being observed, and so December became the month of His birth. Is that any of that true?
I had potato and onion soup with yogurt
(garlic, onions and jeera - cummin and parley, yogurt and olive oil at the end)
Oh yumm, this sounds delicious, really tasty and subtle seasonings.
What is butternut squash?
It's in the cucumber family, i think, like other squashes and is often served roasted or pureed or makes a wonderful soup. Here's a picture:

Today i had it roasted and then mashed, seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg and clove and brown sugar... and a tiny bit of butter. Usually i use olive oil exclusively, but this one tastes better with butter. Sometimes people add maple syrup to it - great if you can get the real syrup.

You fried your computer! But sounds like it is all sorted out now? What about the ram sticks - were they ok in the end? Neat looking lobster mug, btw.
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)

A 3 minute boot is very impressive.
Thanks for all the help.
Hope to see people at Curl chat in the morning. Is it 12:00 or 13:00 GMT these days?
love and peace,
joyce
