I agree. Those who watch CNBC in the morning for the stock market reports are aware of their recent 'upgrade' to the flashy graphics with the annoying sound effects. It used to be so loud that I had to turn it off. I guess they got so many complaints that they had to tone it down a little, but it is still obnoxious. CNBC needs to get rid of the fat blond with the young kids 'for a lack of a better word' and all the other obnoxious comments. She has 2 minutes with a guest and she takes 1.45 minutes to ask a question so convoluted and full of twisted, stupid logic that the person being interviewed has no idea what to say. Her laugh is like a choking chicken. God!, who approves this garbage? They obviously do not use the product. What idiot comes up with that garbage? What idiot approves it? Fire the bastard. Give us some relief from the pain.
Around the mid 1980's we got a Sharp copier that copied 20 copies per minute. That was very fast back then and this monster took up a lot of space and cost $1,000 for routine maintenance. It had a horribly obnoxious female voice that talked to you while you were copying. How stupid and irritating! They obviously did not do any pre-release testing. At least Sharp included a switch so you could turn the obnoxious devil off. Now comes Microsoft. Late to the party with a bad plan. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Leafe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ProFox Email List" <profox@leafe.com> Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 7:55 AM Subject: Re: Vista & USB On Feb 1, 2007, at 10:43 AM, Jeff Johnson wrote: > My personal opinion - It's pretty and flashy.

One of the presenters at last weekend's FoxCon was using Vista, and after about the third time I saw that whooshy effect I got really bored with it. It was more annoying than cool. -- Ed Leafe -- http://leafe.com -- http://dabodev.com [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
