I don't see Gil showing attitude.

I removed it Victor.

firestar has been here for a few days.

Nope, he just registered today. Look at his profile.

I've seen that before. Still funny, though.

Well, "My Computer" isn't even a website. I guess it forgot it existed for a second there.

It's a Pavilion, but I'm not sure of the model number.

Also, here's Windows ME doing one of the things it does best:

Didn't you say you were on Windows ME?

I'm not on that computer right now.

Not sure how my title bar managed to take up the entire screen.

Interesting, Carl and Kristin did the first hour of PME again today. I wonder if this is permanent.

They also accidentally ended the show with EE music, and Carl and Kristin each accidentally walked in front of the key wall when they weren't supposed to during that segment, as well.

They also used the EE backdrop from the start of the show - something they haven't done for the past few weekends or so.

And Windows ME is the only Windows OS worse than Vista.  Shock it still works.   

I know, right?

I powered on my old Windows ME computer for the first time in 1 million years, and it still works fine! I even got Wi-Fi to work on it. I'll post some pics in a little bit.

A tornado watch is in effect until midnight CDT.

Here's an IntelliSTAR clip, from 7:28 PM CT during Epic Conditions/Weather Ventures. This time, I took it with a digital camera, so the quality is much better, and audio was recorded along with the clip, so I didn't have to manually insert music.

Why can;t you downgrade? Just curious...

Because I don't have a copy of XP that I can use for that machine.

Ugh, don't even get me started on Vista. I liked it at first, but after several months of dealing with it, it's getting really annoying. It freezes up more often than XP, and it's a memory hog, too. I even have trouble with playing videos (locally, not on sites like YouTube), even with my laptop plugged in and on high performance.

Until Microsoft gets Vista to be an actual useable operating system, I still prefer XP, and if I could I would downgrade my laptop to XP.

This is interesting - Alexandra Steele did tonight's national Weather.com forecast. Never seen her do that before.

Also note in the clip attached that they still use the 03-05 Afternoon Outlook-like National Forecast transition graphic.
