Face book is creepy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll tell ya this.. when a computer is able to find out things that even my friends don't know about me...
I wuz adopted out very young.. half japanese and half german , to WW2 survivors (Dutch)... an AXIS baby!
However, like always happens, my name was changed .. of course, and the agency made up my heritage with some cock and bull story.. knowing my adoptive family was dutch.
I didn't find out my true heritage until 10 years ago, when doing a family search...
I don't Look Japanese... and i've never used my birth name of Tanawa (Tanouye)
Well, i recently signed up for a facebook page.. and guess what.. all the friend suggestions were two thirds Asian, and one third German....
I don't know any of them!
Spooky!!!

Ooooh i Hate Linux!

Ok that's not quite true... it's the Window Managers.. there's NO consistency in defaults... or applications... ya have to learn Each and Every one's different way of doing things...

Really, i think the one I'm REALLY looking forwarf to installing is QNX..
I have Solaris also, waiting for my PC to be re-assembled.
and would love to be able to install the new Haiku distro... but it appears that the athlon i just got is somehow rigged to only boot WinXP...
"designed for winXP'
Hmmm... jeez.. I remember the good old days that software was written for hardware....
Must be gettin' ole... i don't get the whole thing of hardware being built for software..
I do remember when MS put the 'fear of god' into the haardware manufacturers by releasing the requirements for 'Longhorn'
When I read it in PCmag i thought it was a joke... really... i thought they were puttin us on!

Moving posts over...

Hey...i don't hate Apple...i really don't.. but sometimes, well...
OK, well, we all know people who think THEIR stuff don't stink, and ya can't tell them anything...
If ya been in Rock and Roll for any length of time ya seen many, many, many...
Well, Apple's kinda like that.. at least in my little experience :)
Can you think of any other OS where when you're copying several thousand music files over, that gives the message 'there was an error' and just STOPS copying... no 'skip this file' or similar.. leaving one to have to, BY HAND, pick through each and Every file! to see what was copied and what was not...
AARRGGGGH!!!
"But they got iTunes" i hear said ... well, it don't sound so good to me..for some reason it seems to take the edge off the sound of everything it plays, at least to me...
If your stuill using OS9, however, this sounds clear and crisp.. you might want to try yourself..
Yes, Virginia, im talkin about Winamp.. there really IS a Winamp that runs on a Mac!!!  Don't know anyone else who's ever seen one , however.... and it only runs on OS9 (sigh...)

Winamp for Mac.sit

MacOS Panther GUI stuff!!

This one is all gold and called 'midas touch'

This One's the only OSX port of yhe OS9 appearance theme 'Hitech"
I'm quite proud of it, actually

 Here are both...

Hi-Tech Theme (DLTA & Shapeshifter)
Midas Touch Theme (DLTA & Shapeshifter)
I've written several more I'll post soon...

This Is What i did Today...

I Really like Windows NT 3.51 ...ever since i lent a hand to a fellow online enthusiast who went by the handle "PC Freak" ..
Well, i did it right this time.. it looks and works right now and is ultra stable...

And has the 3d theme of nt4.. which normally only is available when using 'newshell' along with it's default "explorer" window manager...
Notice NO explorer?
Later y'all...

So why have this blog at all?

Well... I've been doing things that, for the most part, are pretty much impossible.
I currently have a 'C' drive of 4 gigs formatted as fat 16 that boots win 95a, win31, os2, and winnt351.
If ya know anything about tech at all, that should get yer radar up...
More to come!

Sooo... *another* blog?

well... for y'all that have seen my others.. i just figured that you don't want to hear all about coding nitemares and dll entry points on a music or pinball page!
..More to come.. Doc
