Hi Bob,
I totally new here and you gave me great idea for my new hobby. I’ll try to build my own windmill. Hope that will work after I finish construction, because I’m one of people which main skills and connected with internet, not with hand work. Thanks for idea. ;D

Yes my windmill has been around for some time. I’ve had to change the head (the part that spins) a few times.
Since we have a constant breeze here in Meadow Lake, windmills don’t last for ever.
Post a picture of your windmill here once it’s finished.

Time for the XP users to move on http://betanews.com/2011/08/24/do-a-good-deed-today-uninstall-windows-xp/
Does anyone think that tosh is going to make any XP user uninstall, plonkers. They have their reasons for retaining it and that won’t change because of this. What a joke, uninstall XP and make the malware attackers pick another OS to target, pathetic.
The XP market share is also reported as just having dropped below 50%, not the 42/43% in their chart; so I don’t know where StatCounter get their stats from.
+1
I knew that post would make the xp die hards bite the hook like a marlin ;D ;D
I thought this was meant to be an Interesting topic rather than a Trolling one 
I agree with DavidR!
I like the pun David, good play on words
