What is not free, is that every message is stored. This is friggin important when you are disagreeing about a multimillion dollar trade. Traders NEVER* deal off the official networks as they expose themselves to all sorts of problems, not least the misheard or misrepresent order. Back in the 90's one of the traders called the market for £100,000 worth of ICI and duly received 100,000 ICI shares at £15 a pop. Best meeting ever, sitting there with the counterparty and playing the phone call to them...

Forget the future: it cannot be predicted.
Forget the past : it cannot be changed.
Forget the present: I didn't get you one.

Forget about this thought also!

I spent some time doing a card for a friend's birthday on Sunday and getting it right, and this was the message.
Then the cat ate it and I had to start again...

If I forget my gf's birthday present, I can damn well predict the future and forever regret the past.

Oddly enough, this will probably lead to a memory that will never, ever be forgotten.

The recycle bin icon is just the worst ever. Shame really, as the recycle bin icon in 7 is pretty good.

Only the recycle bin icon?

Lets go to windows 7 so we can have a cool recycle bin icon.

If only the file handling (copy,move...) was better in windows 7...
Yes, the recycle bin icon is ugly as hell.
And the normal icons in the explorer are well... ugly too.

Delete the recycle bin icon!

It is by design. They want to discourage you from deleting any file.

That's how they want to get people to like Windows 8--by making 10 look worse.

Better wait for Update/Service Pack 1

Shirley you can either change the icon, or just pick a different theme and change all of them in one go.
Mind you, they might have relegated that to "only by editing the registry", too. I haven't looked at Winio at all yet, and I don't need to for work, so I'm in no hurry to do so.

Did they change it in the latest build? Google turned up this[^] which is the same as the one on my Win7 desktop.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

They did - but fortunately per this tip[^] you can change it back.
I assume the current starter icons are just placeholder - because they'd look clunky next to a Palm Pilot's icons!
