I think the last time I did that. I did it by editing the one file which I forget what it was now. I turned it to a Matrix start up .. That was so cool. Now it's back to normal.

There are places out there that you can d'load Boot Screens. They require you to change the name of the file to a .exe file and put it in your win/system32 folder, then edit your boot.ini file. I had several and modified my boot.ini so that I was presented with a choice of what startup screen I wanted. Was way cool, but then... the latest XP service pack.. does not like it if you are using a modified NTOSKRNL.exe file. Forgive the link to this site.. (related to stylexp), but they have alot of these files and detailed instructions on how to set all that up..

for alot of reasons. here are a few:

1. NO mac processor runs at the curent speed of 3.0 Ghz on like the Pentium 4 processor or even my favorite a AMD Athlon XP at 2.4 Ghz.
2. Mac parts and memory cost to much.
3. Mac computer cases aren't as cool loking as mine. ( All black, see through side, blue light in the case, ect...)
4. Say what you will but Windows XP is easier to use as far as using programs and in general.
5. There are more programs and games written for PC and Windows than a Mac.

I just like the look.
