TheEskimo Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) Hello mates...My dad is considering getting rid of his behemoth from 2004. I would like to upgrade the system for him. XP Pro has served him well, but he is considering upgrading to Win7. Now, which do you guys suggest? XP he knows and loves, but is rather old. I have heard good reviews for Win7. We won't be getting a Mac, so all you Micro$oft haters, please try to remain civil . Thanks. Edited February 10, 2010 by TheEskimo
Ralph Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 I have installed it on a couple machines for people was easy enough to use not super demanding on hardware like vista is its fairly similar to Vista a couple cosmetic differences nothing particularly useful but going vista/win7 from XP is awesome it will change the way use your computer from a slow poor existence to a nice simple and easy used system (its a bit like changing over to goggle chrome from internet explorer) p.s. before anyone tells me vista sucks or vista is buggy before SP1 i did have the od BSOD but not much more the reason you are finding vista crap is because your computer is far to crap to be running it anything thing that gets a vista rating below 3.2 (in ,my opinion) should not be running vista put vista on a good computer and it will serve you well
optimus Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 I can certainly vouch for W7. It's a great OS, very easy to get used to if he's an XP guy too...
TrueBluePyro Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Windows 7 works great for me. Easy to use I would think.
scarbelly Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 WOOT! APC back up! I feel like I just got home after a long trip.
TheSidewinder Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Welcome back, folks! There are a TON of changes to the entire system. So many new features I can't even begin to list them. And more are coming! Basically, CLICK EVERYTHING AND START EXPERIMENTING! You really can't "break" anything. And if you manage to, I have backups.
Pretty green flame Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Awesome, it's back TS, any chance there'll be those APC skins up for grabs (Bohegeha or the red background APC style skin?)
TheSidewinder Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Nope, those are gone. But we're going to get a free skin from someone I know. Similar to this skin, but in Red, and with a static pyro-themed background: http://www.skinbox.net/skins/ipb-3-0-skins/dark-skins/mystic/100

bikemaster Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Really happy to see the forum alive!!I'm also very suprise that Mumbles choose a french name:P
Mumbles Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 There is only one way to spell amateur if you ask me.
dagabu Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Getting 37 inserts to go at the same time is a bear! http://www.pyrobin.com/files/timed%20reports%20first%20try.wmv D
Ventsi Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) Tell me about it, If all goes well the last break on the left shell will have two rings with 30 reports each.The right one has two rings of 7 red and then blue inserts. I'm hoping to get these fired in the next two weeks. http://pyrobin.com/files/p1090008.jpg That was a fantastic shell BTW, was there some kind of a glitter pistil? Edited March 1, 2010 by Ventsi
TrueBluePyro Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Nice shells. Hey all, I just updated my website and now I now will be updated more oftern, with more tutorails and such in time. www.truebluepyro.com Also, the forum will be hosted at www.truebluepyroforum.info, but at the moment is having a few problems because of the change but I hope to have them fixed soon. Its pretty basic, but I now have full control of my website (before I had my friend doing, which is why it never had tutorials and such and was crap!) So I can modify and change whatever I want, whenever I wan. Anyway, Stay green
Ventsi Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 I love it!!!!Excellent layout and ...everything! I have 3" multibreak tutorial I've been working on with nice pictures and all, whenever I shoot them I'll post it here and if you want, there.
TrueBluePyro Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Hey mate, thanks . Yea sure i'll look out for your tutorial, that would be nice to have on the website.
TheEskimo Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Oh hai guise!!! Long time no see Not much is going on...gonna go paste some shells for my B-day. A little late, I know, but it is never too late to shoot off shells.....
TheEskimo Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Meh...sorry for the double post.I think that we need a thread for "Young Men Unsure How To Act in Social/Romantic Situations". I see a lot of comments/questions in that area. Anyways, there is this rather pretty girl at my school. I would say #2 or 3 out of all the girls..... We've always been close, doing sports, movies etc together. She is generally effusive in her social handling of me, always giving me random hugs, calling me her best friend, etc, even when she has a boyfriend close by. I do not doubt her intentions, considering that she has acted this way towards me for about a year or two. Now, I ask her to go to prom with me while in Calculus . She is visibly pleased, and says yes. I wouldn't mind taking our friendship to a new level, but ever since I asked her, the spontaneous hugs, comments, etc are gone. I haven't done anything to offend her, and I am at a loss as to her behaviour. I would like to make an advance, but I have seen too many friends put off girls by seeming too pushy, and I care not to repeat the mistakes of others. Is she indicating that she wishes to point out that going to prom is just "friends", or perhaps is she playing hard-to-get, and would like to take things to a new level? I hate being uncertain...... Any thoughts?
