Still sorry about that. I'm a little frustrated while following all of this continuing catastrophe in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. I think that my main point is that I don't run anything on my computers unless it is absolutely necessary (evil or not, as in the case of NAV). No Instant Messengers, no GUI boosters, no bells&whistles, nothing. I've seen too often naive computer users with a SysTray stacked with dozens of junk apps and services running (you can run, but you can't hide!) - and then they wonder why their computer runs so slowly and is unstable. By removing junk on my computer and disabling every unnecessary service, I regained over 20MB of memory - very useful memory. WindowsBlinds does rock. I used to use it (and even had their ObjectDesktop). In my case, it is an unnecessary luxury item. If you are pleased with it and it doesn't impact your system, then all power to you! :)
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the
foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg
off.
