Windows 95 didn't have single click did it?

always better to have the choice.

TweakUI is great.

Win95 is great.

Love is great. Except when....its a one way thing, then its bad, but in a
good way. Boo-hoo...

Ha ha ha. I would call that very childish and immature. How many kids do
you read about that have killed themself because they were in "love"? How
many adults? That should tell you something.

Things carry on as normal. Nothing changes just because one person dies.

Ooh! I'll have a 56k modem, heres the post i did yesterday (No, really,
Outlook express screwed up my reply somehow, I think I might have e-mailed
this to Heaver 5 times, that'll make him like me and want to give me a
prize):

It came from Douglas Adams' The HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy book
series/tv series/radio series/adventure game, look at Alistair Grant's
signature - DON'T PANIC is written on the front of the guide. WhatdoIwin.

Simply that adults have more control over their lives and emotions, and
that adults can talk things out more than younger people... notice that
this also happens to people in their 20's...
