hello . 

I just repurchased ObjectDesktop. I got three emails confirming my purchase ... Am I going to get billed three times?

orders 2256057 2256058 and 2256059

Ok. I got a 17" HP AMD laptop and it's a pail of fail. My laptop speakers don't work. It's a major pain in the ass. Since this was a refurb and HP wants a fortune to fix the sumbitch, I'm now looking at a replacement. I've been shopping around and now I need some advice. I want a laptop to play around on the Intertubes and play music/movies and of course , run all the cool Stardock shit. I've been looking @ some 4GB Vista 64 bit models

I've gotten it down to a few models and I need some advice.

Model #1

http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=73%2C74%2C75,4600&webid=764354&affixedcode=WW

$800 cdn

Pros. Dedicated video. inexpensive.

Cons. Standard 1280x800 4GB limit?

Model #2

http://www.acer.ca/acer/product.do?link=oln23g.redirect&changedAlts=&kcond5e.c2att92=474&CRC=617316481

$800cdn

Pros. Great styling , 16" screen ( 1366x768 ) Good sound ( subwoofer ) 2 year automatic warranty extension vis Costco

Cons. Shared video. Acer?4 GB limit.

for $250 more I can get an HP 15.4" laptop with a 9600m and 4GB and Blu-Ray. Not sure I need that.

Any ideas? Other models I need to look at?

Any other ideas? I'm in Canada

I just gotta say that the IconPackager submissions this time along are pretty epic. A lot of top quality packages and not a bum one in the lot.

Great job by all the icon masters!!

OK someone in chat came on and said they were missing the ability to change toolbars and explorer animations in the latest WB on Vista.

So I checked , and the options are missing

Screenies ( Note the missing options )  

Does anyone want a  Winamp Classic skin done?

I have nothing going right now . I have 2 skins done but unreleased and my other projects have kinda stalled. I think I'm just gonna start fresh on a new project.

If it's a port , I'll need permission , which is the problem with the 2 I have done , I can't release it without permission. So I don't feel like doing a skin I'll not be able to release.

Ok , I know it's not November everywhere yet ...

Leopard meets Crystal and they're hanging out on a Tropical Moon of Thetis :)

hello there. I'm looking for ideas for graphics software for skinning.

I have an old 'borrowed' copy of PSP7 that is showing it's age and is less than stable. So I'm looking to go legit and buy/download a legitimate copy of a new photo-editing software I can use to work on Winamp classic skins. I've tried a few and my results were as follows.

Paint.net: I don't like the interface. It seems I have to move between tabbed windows to work on multiple images ( which I do a lot when working on Winamp Classic skins.

The GIMP: I can't work around it's interface Multiple windows

GIMPShop: I found it worse then PSP for stability.

I'd like to know some opinions and sources of decent photo-editing software. This is a casual enterprise for me , so Photoshop is a no go ( $1k ... no ). Details and linkage would be appreciated. Thanks.
