How did you find Wincustomize? Did you find it through another customizations site? A friend? Luck?
This is how I found Wincustomize:
My school was on a field trip to CNC (College of new Caledonia... nice place:))
and I had signed up to go to a class in Computer Networking (just to check it out).
So, I was in the CompNet classroom and I saw this guy using WindowBlinds, and I ask
him how he changed his theme to something other than the Windows defaults (silver,
blue, green, classic) and he told me about Wincustomize, and told me about WindowBlinds.
So, the next oppertunity I get, I check it out, and end up customizing my desktop
with Tiggz's GT3 theme (still one of my favourites). I got a Wincustomize Membership
(not a subscription), checked out the proggys, got them, used them, found different skins
them, etc. I then decided to try my hand at skinning. I started with Logons, using other
peoples graphics. I advanced to using MSPaint, then Irfanview, then CorelDRAW. Now I'm an
active contributer to the Wincustomize community, and learning how to use Adobe Photoshop.
(Two of the best proggys in the world- CorelDRAW and Photoshop). Thats my story, so whats yours?

I actually remember now since the last time this was asked.
For the life of me, I could not remember how I found this site but it just now hit me:
From WinAMP.com
I am not sure how I found out about WinAMP, but I did and downloaded skins on the regular. I had at least 200 of them.
Then one December day, I came here. Back in 2001. Looking for skins. Short sentences.

Looking for wallpapers on the web. In my haste to set up my new pc and get some images to run as a screen saver, I stubbed my toe, tripped, bumped my head, blacked out, woke up next to a sleeping dragon and havn't gotten out of my cpu cockpit ever since. As the great philosopher RPGuere said "I'm a swivel chair potato" ( I think it was him). Just wish someone would rub my bum occasionally when it falls asleep. That damn dragon is still eating all my food, too.
