Time for another of my flowers pictures...


Our Magnolia, with a bloom just starting to open. There's a yellow one too, but for some reason, its blooms don't show up very well in photos. Maybe I just don't know how to do it.

While downloading these today, and preparing to resize them, I realized that since I'd put this Windows 7 RC on here, I hadn't gone here for a fresh copy of this handy little resizer program patterned after that great PowerToy from XP. This works the very same, but there's no animations while the resizing is taking place. If you want to watch for progress, then you need something like my CPU Usage gadget on the sidebar, and then just watch the bar-graphs of the various cores as the resizing operation progresses. When all is quiet, it's all done, and then it's safe to close it. There's other resizers that work with Windows 7, but this one is the easiest and most familiar if you have used the PowerToys for XP version. And if anyone from Mighty Microsoft is reading this, please - let us have some PowerToys for Windows 7. A world-class O/S deserves world-class accessories. If you want us to quit using our trusty old XP, then it would help a lot if we could add the same kinds of extras onto our newest operating system. That way, we wouldn't feel like we were losing something. And we wouldn't have to resort to using bootleg versions to get the same convenience.
