Those buildings are cool! Looks like it's all stainless steal or something, if it is, must be expensive to build those!

I know. It looks like an amazing city, and I want to live there so badly. Too bad SARS had to come. I hope SARS ends before 2037 because I want to live there at least ten years before the mean, communist, Chinese government can turn Hong Kong into something like Beijing in the year 2047. (That's win Hong Kong can lose all freedoms it has now.)

On the far left is the Bank of China. I love the way the Bank of China looks. It's amazing....

I've been wanting to try Alcohol 120%. Is it good?

EDIT: My current desktop

Red, I see you found the perfect squirrel tree!

I like it!

I don't really have a use for it, but it's neat.

I don't get into all that CD burning stuff either. I have a burner that's never been used. Wouldn't know what to do with it if I needed to use it!

I don't burn many CDs. I don't like to handle CDs anyway.

I have not used alcool much either. I've been wanting to be generous and put a bunch of my CD's in my DC shared list but the copy protection things arn't working. I need something that can take a 100% binary clone of CD's but I can't find such thing. Been lazy really, there's all these cracks and stuff I can get but never really bothered much. I shoun't be doing that anyway.

The RIAA will send bombs to my house. And the US senate will send nuclear bombs too.

Warez is war.

This is what my desktop looks liek now. It's green

. About time for another change soon though.

I use alcohol 120% as well. I think it's a little bulky for use as a virtual cd prog, but the ripping, burning, and copying is pretty good. I don't rip as much as I used to but I do rip whatever game I'm playing and run the disk as a virtual cd to speed things up. Made a perfect rip of Diablo 2: Lord of destruction so I can play legit on B.net without wearing down the cd. And I used to have a lot of trouble copying that one.

Red: Have you tried Alcoholer yet? That should take care of your ripping problems.

Nice desktop!

Yeah I tried it, but I suppose it does not work with win2k or something as I just got an error some DLL was missing or something.

1280x1024x32bit. Heh, I used to run 1600x1200, but I had to switch down when I got my computer desk

I would run that high, but my refresh rate goes down if I do.

yeah, that can be a prob. I can run about 85Hz at 1280 [was running 60, just changed it [probly why I had a headache yesterday

]], but I got a pretty big monitor and a decent video card...

I still run mine at 800*600. But once I get a good monitor I'll probably want to run higher. BUt 600*600 is not too bad. It's the dreadful 640*480 that some still use that is horrible. The icons are the size of my fist lol.

800x600 on my monitor is like reading one of those large print books for the visually impaired...

lol. On mine it looks fine. But the monitors at school look as if it was 640x480 when it's actually at 800*600 it's weird. I guess it goes by the dot pitch 72 or 92 etc.

Yeah! I used to use that resolution, but since I switched to 1024 x 768, I can't stand anything lower!
