As someone who loves ambient, that was a mindtrip. Thank you for sharing, DG!

Needs a touch of Fripp guitar. I assume you're referring to the fact that the great British guitarist, Robert Fripp of King Crimson fame, contributed sounds to the Windows Vista operating system.

As someone who loves ambient, that was a mindtrip. Indeed (and you're welcome!). I wonder if one could use some further extension and looping to create a longer (say, 15 minute) meditation piece...

It didn’t really bother me much, but I’m hopelessly color blind. But everyone else hated it, and I was trying to break them of logging in with admin when they didn’t really need to.

I think there was a way to do it shown on youtube, you may have to screw around with the registry, normally in the past I would not but in the last 2 years working IT I am more confident with doing regedit.exe.
To: dayglored
Wow, no, I had no idea! What a coincidence. What a waste of talent...Vista...?
I was thinking Fripp/Eno from their earlier collaborations.
King Crimson, a staple on my turntable...Islands...great stuff, though hardly anyone knows that one.
