The main reason I don't like skins is (and this is a new one) : CPU time

All these programers asume we all have the latest P4 and such .

Example : LW with it's unresponsive GUI and it's stupid skipping MP3 player

Who needs an MP3 player inside a P2P client anyway ?

What was wrong with that simple "launch" button ?

No , now we have a skipping CPU-eating MP3 PLayer with a scrolling interface .

Bandwidht complaints all over the boards everywhere !
But who cares about people's CPU's pulling all this useless **** ?

People with old P200's will !

I'm posting this rant because I know what working with slow CPU's means .

All these new PC's with speeds like 1.5 , 1.8 and 2.0 GHZ speeds don't even show a difference for the naked eye , you need a stopwatch to see the difference .

Altough I do work with a Dual P4 Xeon 2.0 GHZ now , I worked a long time with a P300 .
