    Yassum. Arsa bin playin wid dat stuff too. Purty aint it?

    Sun Microsystems came up with a Java 3d desktop, a couple of years ago that was wild, panning panoranic views on the desktop, application windows that faded, and could be swung out of the way, or even hung in the distance on a tree branch or mountain top, it needed a big rig to cope. This is the new version from what I saw in the video.

    Shorty.

    I know the feeling Mick.
    Every time my XP wants to update itself, some damn thing won't work for a week.
    Luckily I have another machine running Linux.

    Shorty.

    I really liked the 'flip your desktop over to a different side of the cube' bit but elastic windows? I thought the idea was to get away from pointless resource-eating gimmicks?

    That's because windows is so easy for the joe to buggerup, you can log in as administrater and run your desktop allowing all the buggering your heart desires.
    If you want to give Linux a go and arn't to savvy.
    Try Ubuntu or Kubuntu distributions.
    http://www.ubuntu.com/
    Free download, can burn it to a CD and run it as a Live CD without installing anything on your PC.
    If you have broadband, then it would most probably work without any configuration.
    It is very user friendly, no need to compile or do much command writing as it is GUI. just click your windows similar to MS.

    GUI = Graphical User Interface

    Linux will not run any of the programs you have on your machine, but will come with more or less equivalent programs without additional cost. Including the choice of several email programs a lot better than OE.

    Email address will remain the same.

    DD, you aint gonna be impressed with Vista then mate. I only need 1 small upgrade, a small matter of a few hundred dollars for a later than Nvidea 5500 graphics card. Not 1 single application I have uses all the power in that card, yet Vista will drag it to a crawl just trying to load the desktop. At least the beta test did. Windows ME for XP is all Vista really is.

    Shorty.
