My brother thinks I'm crazy for wanting to skin my computer. He's one of those that wants a lean, mean, clean machine.
My husband is having to put up with me running into the room telling him about this really cool theme, suite, skin, or whatever that I've just seen.
I'm not even going to try to talk to my sister or her husband about skinning a computer.

people have been beta testing netscape for years and years, not to mention icq,aim,and of course winzip,among countless others, for free, with no complaints.can't see how that would have anything to do with finding people in your area who know what skinning is and enjoy skinning their computers..
guess you just felt the need to hijack a fun thread. and it worked swimmingly well.

What I find truly interesting are those people that claim to be really into computers, but then you show them a skin or DX theme and they're like: 'Yeah, is that all???'
Go figure.

PC, keep in mind that that is part of the charm and purpose of this website. Here you will find plenty of friends to talk "shop" with, and, they're just as passoinate and excited about skinning and theming as you are.

I live north of Charlotte (think Dale Earnhardt home). I get the same responses when I try to show someone a Skin, they look at me like im talking about porno.
I dont know (personally) anyone around me that has or uses ANY skins on anything. not DesktopX, not WindowsBlinds, some use the WMP Skins, but thats about it.
I'd love to be able to TALK to someone about my skins, but its such a strange world (no offence people, but look at your icons, and pics on your home pages!) wierd nicknames, wierd images, strange titles to things, all kinds or strange crud.
Maybe we need to start local Skinners Users Groups, meet at a STRIP Join LOL (KIDDING!), can you imagine the flyers:
ATTENTION ALL SKINNERS
BRING YOUR LAPTOP, AND MEET AT THE IHOP @I-85!
SHOW OFF YOUR LATEST SKINS
TUTORIALS ON BASIC SKINNING
HOW TO PORT A SKIN TO A NEW PLATFORM
NEW SKINNERS WElCOME
LOL, can you imagine the people that would show up for that one?
BTW: I LOVE DesktopX and how easy it is to make Widgets I'm hooked on that one!
Let me know when you want to have the first "Charlotte Area Skinners Users Group Meeting"

I noticed that a few of you are from the Carolinas. I'm in Charleston, South Carolina myself. Love skinning. Maybe we need to have locales on our profiles so we can meet up at the I-Hop. I met Brainiac in Texas last month.
