Hmm...762 new messages? Damn Hotmail and it's spam! That inpired me to check my Hotmail for the first time in a couple weeks. Only 365 new. I'm not gonna bother dleting it...it's pretty sad though: 50% of the spammers email addresses(the address it SAYS it's from) are hotmail.com addresses. But what worry's me is that my new other account is getting 2 or 3 spams a day. I realize that's not bad, but in a couple weeks it'll be 20-30, then the next month 200-300...I better be a bit more careful when I send my address in without reading if they will spam me or not. I've decided to dedicate one email address to signing up for things, and such. Damn the internet and all it's shameless advertising.

Oh, and if you really want, here is a capture of my desktop. Could care less about customizing it much though, there is always a windowo pen over top of it. As long as it has a cool background...

Well since this was my original idea on the other boards (;)) I guess I might as well post my desktop. Unlike others, I do spend my time on useless things like customization. Oh well, here you go:

Yeah, same here. It's even worse than nbci, it still won't work even if you open up a new window.

My desktop says : Active Desktop Recovery

And underneath it says a buncha junk about nothing important.
i also have 61 icons, most of them useless.

I dont bother with a background because IE always performs an "illegal operation", which replaces my BG with the active desktop recovery one.

How do you take a picture of your desktop anyways?

no, reformatting woud not be fun. id have to back it all up. id rather just put up with it, or get a new hard drive, or a new computer.

speaking of reformat, about 7 or 8 years ago i was using dos and i thought "i wonder if del *.* does what i think it does.

It did. luckily the HDD was only 16mb

at one time my computer was so messed up if you did combination of things you always go the same error. For example if I had opera and outlook open and conneting at the same time, as soon as I got connected it would restart my computer. And if I tried to run ie with winamp open I would get 3 illegal operations and winamp would change its skin. It was all messed up.
