          It's a real memory hog. The UI sucks bigtime. But...not only that, the "screensaver" that rotates through your photos...isn't a real screensaver. It's just a full screen window that acts like one. So when my mom wanted to stop my 2 and 4 year old brothers from messing with the computer, she put a password on the screensaver. However, this only deterred them for about a day, when they discovered (2 and 4 year olds mind you) that the Windows key circumvented the entire thing, popped up the start menu, and then from there they just clicked the Show Desktop icon in the Quick Launch area. (I should hire them for QA testing on my software. :-D) I just hate that application. It's so shoddy and, to me anyway, feels like it. Instead I use Jason Henderson's WallpaperQ

The Photo Manager, for instance, leaks memory, and you can't use the arrow keys to select different photo collections from the listbox, because it always sets focus to the photo thumbnail view. No search, either. However, I like all the free nature shots, and I haven't gotten around to finding out how to export all the images from the *.wbc files programmatically. I'll put up w/ the shoddy app for that if necessary to get them.

Another complaint...proprietary format. :) Can't you download the images themselves straight off the WebShots site in jpg format or something anyway?

                              I'm sticking with the plain vanilla Windows 2000 wallpaper. I once tried a custom one and it was a nightmare. A lady friend with a new digital camera sent me a very explicit photo of herself, so on a whim I right-clicked it and set it as my wallpaper. Later, when I was expecting visitors, I tried to remove it. Yikes! Every time I rebooted it came back!!! It tooks hours of spelunking to find the multiple copies (with varying names) of that pic on my system, but Windows had no problem locating them whenever it wanted to restore my wallpaper. I still have no idea why it didn't just revert to the default I selected... probably just one of those little flukes that sometimes happen on a Windows PC. I'm not risking that again!

                                          I use Word 2003 at work, Word 97 at home. Still haven't convinced myself it's worth upgrading the latter. Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke
