its acctually really easy - there are 2 files in your winNT or \system folder (I'm in 2000 here so this is from memory). One is for starting up in vga that is 16 colour and another for normal use using 256 colours. They are easy to find if you use an image browser like PSP. Just open them in your fav image editor and do what you like to them, I have a friend who has done this.
Definatly adds a bit of class to a system. I always found modifying the 95 logos a bit tacky but if you modify the NT logs, rather than just replacing them with a random picture, it looks really good.
OK, the statements are wrong, but they were still taught to me when I was starting Physics.
It's true of the entire field - even early on the laws of motion were taught at such a level to be considered wrong 2 years later futher up the school.
The point is that the simplefications work to a degree - look at the law of gravity that we are looking at just now - it worked fine for ages till astronomers realised that Mercury didn't quite fit the formula. Years later (in sixth form:-) an expansion brought in relativity and everyone was happy again.
What I'm trying to say is that while over simplification can be interperated as 'wrong' it can also help a beginner understand the basics of what is going on.
apparently 1Ghz processors give off radiation getting on for microwave levels, tho I don't pretend to know about how strong this radiation is, and even then we aren't quite there yet for the laptops. Alsotheir might be shielding in teh case or something.
It all makes sense to my SYS level Physics:-) Avendit
