Will it affect performance a lot? How about power usage?

Sigh... Windowblinds/CursorXP/Iconpackager will not slow your system down. Windowblinds 4.1 is considerably faster then the standard XP gui, CursorXP eats up 2872k of ram - negligible - and Iconpackager just changes icons, it does nothing inbetween that.
Just the facts

Yes, I lied about it all. My computer runs faster with 3 other apps running. I even run Sysmetrix and Object Dock and see zero slowdown whatsoever. *where is that flip off icon when you need it*

I know, I think it's because I'm near sighted so I can't see very closely. Woah, a whole bunch of "eyes" there.

So far the only program that gave me any trouble resource wise was Window FX.(I'm on a 1 ghz machine)No problems with WB4,iconpackager or cursor xp.

Just a quick question-
Can I buy and d/l Object Desktop or does it have to be mailed to me? I ask this because if I can download it at work (DSL) I could then bring it to my laptop at home and not have to worry about downloading it there (dial-up). Or is it mail-only?
