Windows 98 Revolutions Pack - Add XP styles effects to 98SE only! such as xp toolbar icons startbutton and boot logo plus much much more.
Here are some key features of "Windows 98 Revolutions Pack":
· It REALLY FIXES KB891711 vulnerability (this link leads to separate fix; it isn't required for RP2.2 and higher)
· It ENABLES 32-bit icons. Can't you feel difference between 2000 and XP? This update isn't for you.
· It ENABLES 32-bit icons. Isn't that enough?! No?! Just look in screenshot section.
· It REPLACES idiotic 9x Ctrl-Alt-Del dialog with powerful Resource management utility which really helps to save system stability
· For those of you who can't live witout 4)... It still here! It can sit there by default... Just press "Other tasks" - and you're king!
· It makes Windows look&feel more modern. You don't believe? Ah, you're boring.
· It's absolutely freeware!!! Don't give your money to Bill because of XP looking cool.
· O... I've forget about Fade Effect, Align to Grid, Lock Taskbar, Transparent Labels features? Ah, well... Goto "Display" - "Effects"
· Ah, forgot about ME. Really, M$ forgot about this half-demon.
· Answer this question yourself.

Afternoon all!! It was 80 degrees tuesday,and snowing like a mofo now,go figure?
DDP: Better get that update buddy!!!
Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little
> 5 year old girl and some construction workers that makes you believe
> that we CAN make a difference when we give a child the gift of our
> time...
>
> A young family moved into a house, next door to a vacant lot.
>
> One day a construction crew turned up to start building a house on
> the empty lot.
>
> The young family's 5-year- old daughter naturally took an interest in
> all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day
> observing the workers.
>
> Eventually the construction crew, all of them gems-in-the-rough,
> more or less adopted her as a kind of project mascot.
>
> They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had coffee and
> lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make
> her feel important.
>
> At the end of the first week they even presented her with a pay
> envelope containing a couple of dollars.
>
> The little girl took this home to her mother who said all the
> appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take the two
> dollar "pay" she had received to the bank the next day to start a
> savings account.
>
> When they got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed and asked
> the little girl how she had come by her very own pay check at such a
> young age.
>
> The little girl proudly replied, "I worked last week with the crew
> building the house next door to us.
>
> "My goodness gracious!" said the teller. "Will you be working on the
> house again this week, too?"
>
> The little girl replied, "I will if those assholes at Lowes ever deliver
> the damn drywall..."

GOOD MORNING
Donology (The non-scientific study of donuts.)
(Not to be confused with donology (spelled the same) which is the non-scientific study of Don.)
As you probably are aware, donuts exist in nature in many forms. Some have become highly domesticated while others remain very wild. It is these wild donuts which hold special interest for me. I have traveled far and wide in search of the wildest donuts and have studied them in some detail. Below is a summary of some of my findings.
To study the wild donuts, you must first travel to where the big herds congregate for self protection from the many predators which exist in the wilds. Here is a picture of a typical medium size herd with a lone Donopthor

(Engineerus Munchus) stalking them. Note how the wildest donuts try to hide themselves between and under other less wild members of the herd. Unfortunately for them, their brightly colored coats tend to give them away. However, as is often the case in nature, this same trait often makes them the last to be attacked. My research has led me to believe that the explanation for this is that most predators are afraid of these "show-off" donuts. There is probably good reason for this although I have yet to determine exactly what it is.
Here is a close up aerial photo of the same herd. Notice the pair of brightly colored donuts.

These are members of a sub-species known as Donostrus Sprinklus which has developed a highly visual coat which, in a strange way, seems to help them survive. The one on the right (the female) is the subject of a further study of mine.
It is probably important to point out at this time that the only known way to study donuts dictates that said donuts must ultimately lose their lives. But the student should not take this too hard because, first of all, donuts only have a life span of a day or so (though some have been know to hang on for weeks) and secondly, all of the researchers I know of do not ever hunt donuts for the trophy only; we always eat the donisen (donut flesh). So, you see, it is all part of nature's great plan.
Warning: Shocking photo. Wear dark glasses!

That said, here is a rather grisly photo of a donut predator feeding on an unfortunate member of the herd. Notice the general feeding frenzy all around. This herd was eventually completely wiped out. However, thru the amazing resiliency of nature, exactly one week later, a new herd was roaming the great halls of this wilderness.
As I mentioned, my main area of study has been the sub-species, Donostrus Sprinklus which is commonly known of as "Sprinkle Donuts" or just SDs. And, of course, the most facinating part of an SD is it's sprinkles.
Below I have compiled some example photographs taken to illustrate the amazing findings from my study in Sprinkology.
Using powerfull and extremely high-tech, whiz-bang, way-cool, very-expensive microscopes, I have penetrated to the very core of a donut sprinkle to discover it's secrets.
These shots are progressivly closer and closer views of a typical sprinkle.http://www.icehouse.net/msjmsj/donology.html

A man is driving along a highway
and sees a rabbit jump out
across the middle of the road.
He swerves to avoid hitting it,
but unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front of the car.
The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay, the rabbit is dead.
The driver feels so awful that he begins to cry.
A beautiful blonde woman driving down the highway sees a man crying on the side of the road and pulls over.
She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong.
"I feel terrible," he explains, "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it."
The blonde says,"Don't worry!"
She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can. She walks over to the limp, dead rabbit, bends down, and sprays the contents onto the rabbit.
The rabbit jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them and hops off down the road.
Ten feet away the rabbit stops,
turns around and waves again,
he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves,
hops another ten feet, turns and waves, and repeats this again and again and again, until he hops out of sight.
The man is astonished. He runs over to the woman and demands, "What is in that can? What did you spray on that rabbit?"
The woman turns the can around so that the man can read the label.
It says..
(Are you ready for this?)
It says,
"Hair Spray-
Restores life to dead hair, and adds permanent wave."
Happy Easter!!!

GOOD NIGHT
great and best info i can give ye on easter
TO THOSE THAT ARE IN THE USA
ALSO GREAT INFO IF YE DO NOT LIVE IN THE STATES.
Quote: ATTORNEY'S ADVICE - NO CHARGE
Read this and make a copy for your files in case you need to refer to it
someday. Maybe we should all take some of his advice! A corporate Attorney
sent the following out to the employees in his company.
1. Do not sign the back of your credit cards. Instead, put "PHOTO ID
REQUIRED."
2. When you are writing checks to pay on your credit card accounts, DO NOT
put the complete account number on the "For" line. Instead, just put the
last four numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of the number, and
anyone who might be handling your check as it passes through all the check
processing channels won't have access to it.
3. Put your work phone # on your checks instead of your home Phone. If you
have a PO Box use that instead of your home address. If you do not have a PO
Box, use your work address. Never have your SS# printed on your checks.
(DUH!) You can ad d it if it is necessary. But if you have It printed,
anyone can get it.
4. Place the contents of your wallet on a photocopy machine. Do both sides
of each license, credit card, etc. You will know what you had in your wallet
and all of the account numbers and phone numbers to Call and cancel. Keep
the photocopy in a safe place. I also carry a Photocopy of my passport when
I travel either here or abroad. We've all heard horror stories about fraud
that's committed on us in stealing a Name, address, Social Security number,
credit cards.
Unfortunately, I, an attorney, have firsthand knowledge because my wallet
was stolen last month. Within a week, the thieve(s) ordered an expensive
monthly cell phone package, applied for a VISA credit card, had a credit
line approved to buy a Gateway computer, received a PIN number From DMV to
change my driving record information online, and more. But here's some
critical information to limit the damage in case this happens to you or
someone you know:
5. We have been told we should cancel our credit cards immediately. But the
key is having the toll free numbers and your card numbers handy so you know
whom to call. Keep those where you can find them.
6. File a police report immediately in the jurisdiction where your credit
cards, etc., were stolen. This proves to credit Providers you were diligent,
and this is a first step toward an Investigation (if there ever is one).
But here's what is perhaps most important of all: (I never even thought to
do this.)
7. Call the 3 national credit reporting organizations Immediately to place a
fraud alert on your name and also call the Social Security fraud line
number. I had never heard of doing that until advised by a bank that called
to tell me an application for credit was made over The Internet in my name.
The alert means any company that checks your Credit knows your information
was stolen, and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit.
By the time I was advised to do this, almost two weeks after the theft, all
the damage had been done. There are records of all the Credit checks
initiated by the thieves' purchases, none of which I knew about before
placing the alert. Since then, no additional damage has been done, and the
thieves threw my wallet away this weekend (someone turned it in). It seems
to have stopped them dead in their tracks.
Now, here are the numbers you always need to contact about your wallet ,
etc., has been stolen:
1.) Equifax: 800-525-6285
2.) Experian (formerly TRW): 888-397-3742
3.) TransUnion: 800-680-7289
4.) Social Security Administration (fraud line):800-269-0271

i'll have to try that out at work Ireland, where msn etc are banned, though i'll wager that the webpage uses the relevant protocols underneath thus they'd still be blocked but might check out of curiousity.
