Snowflakes are a bit heavy!

I thought snowflakes were supposed to be light fluffy things with no substance to them ? These ones drifting across my screen make the CPU in my laptop beg for mercy!

50% of a 1.7Ghz Core Duo ?!?! Just to move 10 sprites around ? :-)

Oh ok, I'll cut ';em down

What a pity

I thought they were nice. But maybe 50% of the CPU time is a little too much

Didn't increase CPU-usage of my browser here one bit. I'd say something is a little off with your system.

Nah - Taswegia is my favourite state. <insert favourite deity here> created Tasmania first & couldn't follow up the act with the rest of the world

Stunningly beautiful island.

No snow here in southern California... But at least I get to see some here on these forums.

Golan Klinger · December 25, 2008, 11:51 AM

We're up to our arses in it here. I likey.

It's kind of funny that even the Pacific Northwest states have been getting quite a bit of snow that has been sticking around for the past couple weeks. I grew up in Portland, Oregon, and we NEVER had snow there that lasted for more than a couple days, so this is pretty remarkable.

If I do end up moving to Wisconsin after I retire from the military, I'll be seeing LOTS of snow EVERY year.
