I have had enough

I have had enough

Every "tech" or "customization" site I visit, especially the forums, has nothing but Vista bootskins, Vista logons, Vista Wallpapers, etc. That's enough already.

followed by another year of it...then some fanciful speculation on its successor....ad nauseum...


/me thinks you nailed it, Jafo!

There will be enough Vista in Vista.......hmm, I know I have that Stealth WB here somewhere!

Oh dear..."hang myself"?...."slash my wrists"?...."shoot the monitor"?

That seems like overkill when Vista items could be bypassed for those of real interest.

Now if one's email box was spammed with Vista, Vista and more Vista, I could understand the frustration.

I'm not too fussed on that kind of skin myself, but others are, and it's such a small step to browse past item of lesser appeal.

The point is, skinners, new and old, should be encouraged to practise their trade....to continue developing skins of wider appeal, in the absence of pointless comments, criticism.

I am just a sick of the word Vista as everyone else. It doesn't mean I should go disrespecting others and their work. To each his own. Just skip past it. Heck, Ive been skipping past Matrix skins for years now.

A community supports each other.

It's not so much the word "Vista", as it is people take two seconds to put something together, slap the name "Vista" on it and it begins.

Anyways, this was a sarcastic post which was meant to bring some humor and fun here, but I see people here lately take these things way too seriously.

Actually it's a raw nerve in skinning circles...this 'fad' thing.

Ages ago a guy called 'Misery' [Deaddreamer] did a wallpaper called 'Trendwhore' .... it was a good wall, too...but it was also a social statement....

Its relevance seems eternal....

Somewhere.. my sanity is now dangling from a rope inside of an orb which is encased inside of a cylindrical, highly reflective tube device that can only be seen from a hard to reach vista. I feel my teeth beginning to itch and I dread the forthcoming visits from the Trendhore tribe.
We can only vow to do our best to keep them at bay. They really hate it when they don't get attention ya know. Which pill is best.. the red one or the blue....

It ain't which pill....it's how much grog you use to wash them down...

Phoon....nice description of your now obvious, fragile state of mind....but hey, the little blue pills aren't for that


Vista! Have some fond memories of a Vista.....t'was a pub my mates and I used to drink at....stopped going cos some moronic punk rockers turned it into imbecile institute with far too many anti-social practices.

I'm glad I missed this one...  I lived through the XP and OSX introductions.

The first I heard of Vista was yesterday (and I'm already tired of it LOL)

Be glad that Linux has the decency to lay low. If every release got this kind of rep...

I think that I just made Jafo cringe.

The size of the user base may have a little bit to do with that "decency."
