        Thanks for the notice, Bing.

        I've really enjoyed some of the components of the original, expecially the calculator, but they've added a lot of interesting things with this new release. I've downloaded them, now maybe in a few weeks I'll find the time to check them out! :LOL:

            Thanks for the heads up -- I've now downloaded several of them.

            If they are looking for suggestions for additional "Power Toys", I sure wish they'd produce an XP-compatible CD player and a separate DVD player that do nothing but play the damned disc! I hate having to wait for an Internet search for a track list before the disc will start, and I don't want to have to wade through options like "burn a disc", "convert to MP-3" or "add phono-like noise" :>) ... I just want to be able to click "play" and hear music! (or see the movie start.) They had it right in earlier versions of Windows, but to be "comptitive" with the noxious overly-featured crap like "Real Player" they stuck everything into a Swiss Army knife-like "Media Player" (does "everything", but nothing very well). And the old versions simply won't work in XP. (I've tried 'em.)

                  I have one. It's called Windows 2000. Nice little CD player included. For DVD, PowerDVD works great.

                  I don't allow viruses on my computer, XP included! :B

                    I have to say I like the multiple desktop feature the best, and since you can unshare them its almost like using 4 seperate computers at the same time. Of course this feature has been in the Linux GUI for 10 years now 8O
