I've been thinking about this recently. I seem to remember this was THE place for Windows news during one of the betas, maybe XP beta. But I'm almost certain that's how I got onto Neowin, because it made sense, New Windows - or at least that's how I read it.

Has Neowin been around that long? I was trying everything including Wikipedia to actually see if anyone's written a bio of the site.

They got it (Y)

At least some facts...

We've got some info on the about page as well :D

I was stressing Wikipedia, because he mentioned it and supposedly didn't have luck finding it. :)

And the About page is a good source of info, definately a good read! (Y)

As an aside, I noticed you joined the same day, just 6 months before me.

This maths stuff made me think of this:

I don't remember precisely? I know for the longest time, I always referred XP users who didn't like Luna to this site to get the official uxtheme patcher for many years. I also came here to get the patcher whenever it updated when service packs came out for XP. What made me register? I also don't remember. I guess I just started browsing it one day and stuck with it, and when I wanted to reply to something I registered. Off and on I link threads from this forum to other people on various IRC rooms or IM protocols to reinforce a point or to show news on something.

    • Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575

      By Copernic · Posted

      Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

      I own these and the normal QuietComfort ones from Bose. The QC are amazing and I want to love these, but for the life of me, I have a terrible time getting them attached to my ears.
