PHOTOSHOP FILTER ABUSE!

If you need a killer background go to DeviantArt, click browse, wallpapers, select order by favorites and then update. There are a ton of incredible pieces of art there.

an absolute shite thread

congrats cheeseman on the most gay topic i've seen here so far

getting a hardon over a desktop is a tad sad lads....

your an asshole.

The good points are custom nick renaming, and multiple clients. To make it worth your while I suggest the nConvers plugin and SmileyAdd, then you get emoticons, message history, auto 'last 10 messages' and autologging. Still better is Trillian: although commercial, it's a lot more responsive than Miranda and has a few more features like buddy icons and proper handling of group conversations.

thanks for the tip, I'd not tried any plugins...

as for your bb4win / linux debate, I use xp as my main system simply for directx games compatibility. I tried real hard to get into Debian linux but the commercial software I like just doesn't work, so may as well make xp as slender as possible

EDIT: when I say "doesn't work" I mean "isn't available" !

Looks like I might be getting a new computer soon though depending on how the next few months go. So I might have to (*shock-horror*) upgrade from windows 98 se!!!!

frolik: I totally agree and often find myself using XP more because I play a lot of games / need Trillian. Linux still rocks though.

I've settled now on using trillian, miranda was nice and I love supporting the sourceforge projects but once I got it installed I can see it being a clear winner

not used debian for a while now - will go back to it at some point, but I just can't stop playing UT2004 and Far Cry.......

 

[declaration]

I have to agree with you Rico and Frolik.

I recently set up a Linux/XP dual boot system, but find myself using Windows more for Far Cry and an MSN client with audio support.

Pity as I really like Linux.

 

[nerd of nerds]

i REALLY want to learn how to use linux...i have (in recent years) decided that windows SUX a lot...its ok for games, but i want to learn how to use linux as well as i can use windows...and its not like i have anyone to teach me, living in stoopid nebraska and whatnot <_< my uncle could teach me, but he lives in texas and i rarely see him...plus he switched back to windows :unsure:
