Apparently the Xbox is not computer hardware.

For mine, I did each invitation as a mounted photograph. Each photograph had the name of the people being invited photoshopped in. It was done in a way to make it reasonably easy to produce lots of invites but with each looking very individual to that person. Many people commented and apprieciated having a personal invitation rather then a pre-printed card with their name added in biro.

Geeky (photoshop, digital print) but not in a way that confuses the non-techie.

Hope that helps,

Bob.

Hello,

Well I'm English but my girlfriend is Chinese so I celebrate the standard Gregorian solar new year and the Chinese lunar new year. I see no point missing an opportunity to have two parties. The Chinese lunar new year period lasts around 2 weeks and there are different celebrations for each day so that does tends to be better then a single night party that fades out soon after midnight.

Bob.

I'm talking about the computer I use at work to access the Unix and Linux systems I develop on. I work for a major financial organisation which is not going to roll out Linux on the desktop any time soon so for the time being, I am forced to use Windows on the desktop.

Thanks for the tip of not buying computers running XP for home use but I have been working in Unix since 1985 and still have an '82 vintage IBM PC that can boot Minix and do useful work.

Thanks, Bob.
