Re: New Year Desktops

I've been here as long as you "Spanky" despite the date on my userid. I was going to try to search for those old threads, but just now remember the site crashed a lost the older stuff. But even when Conky came out, the desktop thread was a chance for us to have a discussion about various programs and setups. Maybe, I just remember it differently?

Anywho, I knew you'd take my query in the right spirit Spanky.

Peace.

Naw, they're all there.

Some blasts from the past:

»Desktops Desktops and more Desktops! (SURVEY) (Might be the original)
»April Desktops
»December Desktops .... (features some darth guy)
»February Desktops!
»July Desktops (some anubis character)
»May Desktops

Wonder what happened to fritzmp and some of the other former ATU regulars?

Yes, good to see you in here once again. I was still a corporate slave, Windows user back in 2001,2, etc. I think I attempted to install some early form of linux in the late 90's from some floppies.

Found an old box in 2006 and loaded Dapper Drake on it and was, I guess, hooked.

2006- Yup sounds about right. I remember you because one of our machines was identical. I like to think I pushed you to 64bit full time as well:-P

LOL! Sweet thanks! I knew I was not tripping.

Thanks also for the 10 year flash back.

Yeah, I think you did push me to 64 bit. I see one of our machines are still nearly identical hardware wise. The only change I've made recently has been going to a SSD boot drive.

Boy, that brings back memories... That's my screenshot from 2002 under my original ID of Spamzilla at the bottom of the first page of the December thread you posted. I was using Mandriva (?) and KDE at the time and had GKrellM in the upper left hand corner of the screen, with no toolbar showing and a transparent terminal and GKrellM skin like I still use today with FreeBSD. I still have that wallpaper and an updated version of it too.

I tried to log back in with that ID when I came back to the site a few months ago but the account was inactive. I saw an old notebook where I had written down the password to it a while back but can't find it now.

Thanks for posting it.
