I'm still in shock at the quality of the m3tatweening. My personal favorite was the pufferfish section, which I believe is by 100% kitten. WOO. (my section is from king kong to the kung fu medal via god and the twin-headed tzarist eagle dj)

That was a great bit.
Mine was from the pasty to the doll. Far too short compared to the others but I'm proud to be a part of it.

mine was
the doll to the seamonster thingy. I was really pleased with the way you did the same thing with her eyes at the end of yours as I did at the start of mine!

not for me it won't
I assure you.

XP is 10000000000000000 times better than Win98, in my opinion. I'd say how much better than ME it was but I don't have that high a number. Oh, actually, I do - a googolplex. :)

That's because ME
is a steaming heap of mulch

i like it
never had XP or NT or 2K or 98, went from 95 to ME (by getting a new computer)
So maybe it'sjust that it's much better than 95.

Aye
It is that
( .spanky is singing "PEANUTS!", Mon 13 Jan 2003, 0:37, archived)

yes
yes it is.

Oh, and another thing, while I'm on the topic: I love how people who whined about Win9x's staid GUI (and sung the praises of their colourful Linux GUIs, or etc) are usually the first ones to call the XP GUI "fisher-price crap".

I bet if the exact same GUI had have come out as a front-end for HP-UX then they'd all have loved it... :p

Hmmmmmmmm....
KDE 3 looks like XP, so I know what you mean. And on that note, let's stop talking about this.
(Dr Newstead, Mon 13 Jan 2003, 0:29, archived)

oh .. I've just realised I'm actually ranting about GUIs.
I've completed the last phase of the transformation into a MegaDork dot com.

I just find all that a bit childish really
Oooh hang on, Beavis and Butthead's on 2!!

i like xp's ui
what i don't understand is why, despite the advent of windowed operating systems (not that recently, either), most people maximise all their windows so they can only see one app at a time. madness!

what's so
wrong with XP?

I like it.
( limpfish, Mon 13 Jan 2003, 0:20, archived)

It has yet to
piss on my chips, anyway.
( coco, Mon 13 Jan 2003, 0:24, archived)

is
that a good thing?

XP looks cool so it must be better
