Funny but Photoshop I am sure. I do like the Activation thing though as that gets in the way upgrading hardware a lot of time.

I actually used an old version of Visual Basic, to knock up a form with all this stuff on it, and then I did a PrintScreen (ARRGH!) and edited in MSPAINT.

That's how! :p

Not to knock it, but people have been making things like this for some time. I used to have a link to a site with about 50 variations.

I can relate to the last one on there. Vista keeps bringing up some garbage like that I select "do not show again" every time I boot up. I've long forgot what it says.
