James. Posted 10 January 2007 Posted 10 January 2007 Some of you may remember the relatively unrememorable thread I started on buying a new laptop. Well, I bought one and now I need to know what cool stuff I should be downloading/installing/using on it. I'm thinking decent sites to get music, movies and tv show's, sites/software for changing the skins/blinds (or whatever you call them), and anything else which you lot use on your computers and you reckon I should know about. All advice and guidance much appreciated. Merci.

It also depends on what are you interested in...

It also depends on what are you interested in... not that strange is it? just thought i'd test the water with the generally very knowledgeable people who post on here. have asked a mate of mine who's well into this sort of stuff so hopefully he'll be able to show me the way... still, any recommendations gratefuly received... thanks
Daggers Posted 10 January 2007 Posted 10 January 2007 Window Blinds is something recommended by many, but I skip it. Stardock also do a host of other applications, take a look here. I like Yahoo Widgets & my opaque Start bar. Depending on your graphics card you can also set the visibility level of the start bar - I have a 7800GTX which works it nicely.

Makes it alot less boring. The Widgets can be alot of fun to mess around with. ObjectDock is good to have if you like to fiddle around with your desktop items for example.
Geo V Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 I`m not too clued up on stuff to download on your machine mate but a site that someone told me about that stores films like Borat and the new Rocky film that dont need to be downloaded (just click on option and you watch it in a media player). BTW there are loads of TV Shows and cartoons and stuff on here so its worth a look. http://www.peekvid.com/
