Is WC doing away with the lightening bolt that shows when you are online?

I resized the pic x10 and I could just make out the $150k moose... tho she's wearing an awful shade of lipstick, however. And those platform shoes don't do much for her, either. I know that she's wearing them to appear taller and impress voters that she has the stature to become VP, but I don't think she realises that the odd elevation places a curvature on her spine and makes her look like 'the hunchback' of Wasilla.
Oh, and yeah, I saw Sack's 5th Avenue as well.... and the British Airways ticket in her hand, accompanied by (Repub funded) gift certificates for another $150k at Harrods in London. Apparently, Palin is tiring of her moose and pitbull images, so is heading off across the pond to get more into a British Bulldog kind of thing.
Dunno why she's bothering, really.... can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Hehe.

Aarrgghh, sadly she be 'ere orright... tryin' t' impress folks wiv 'er 'spensive glad rags. Still, makin' 'er look pritty would be like try'n ta make yer wench a ball gown frum a mainsail after it 'ave bin thru a cyclone... hehe.
I'll say! Did you hear about the duck who went into Harrods, picked up a lipstick and started to walk out without paying for it? The cosmetics sales girl stops the duck and asks for the payment to be made, and the duck says: "Don't worry about it, I'm putting it on my bill.
Yep, everything is AOK now... tho I'm still waiting on my Vista Home Premium x64 license key so I can install it... apparently there was a delay in the payment transfer, but I received an email saying that I should receive it later today (Friday night/early hours of Saturday morning Oz time). Hmmm, setting that up as I want it will keep me busy for a while.
I haven't had/see'd the smiley button all day. Seein' as 'ow it 'ave come Autumn up 'round Stardock way, I figured it might've falled orf tha page, summat like 'ow leaves falls orf tha trees 'bout this time o' year. I don't 'splain wot 'appened t' tha light'nin bolt, tho, do it!

That Major Groan 'aves no sense of 'umour, 'e don't... not like that thar duck wot wos at 'arrods puttin' lipstick on 'er bill. 
Well I've got my 64 bit Vista installed and have some of my programs set up without the need for valium, but I've still got a fair way to go before it's all as I want, so I have the strait jacket and valium on standby, just in case....
And you too... in fact, a truly great weekend to everyone.

The particular piece of hardware used in displaying the lightning bolt was struck by lightning while being transported to Chicago. We're working on the problem and it should be solved in time for the OD2.1 release in November.
Until then, we at Stardock Central are supplying a temporary lightning bolt patch which you can sew on anyplace appropriate.
Here's yours, angus1949. Only one to a customer, so don't lose it:
You can't see it from this angle, but I think there's a $150K Moose next to the tree at the bottom. Five people who stared at this pic for 5 minutes (try it!) swore they could see Sack's 5th Ave.
