Here I go again asking about my future build...

I'm going to build a new computer and just wanted to ask if all my parts will work with out a problem. I 99.9999% know they will no problems, but I like to ask other people to make sure.

Just wondering, is there a possibility that there will be support for custom mod menus in any upcoming versions of the PAM? I really would like to see that sometime...

This thread is mostly a rant so please feel free to ignore if you so choose.

What is it lately with people asking for all these ancient versions of Firefox, Thunderbird et al? I'd like Firefox 1 for Windows 95 please! Um...No!

"Safe" Global Hotkeys

Does anybody know of a combination of keys that can be used safely on Windows 7 without conflicts?

To give some background, I have a number of apps that support global hotkeys (auto-complete in Keepass for example) but have run into problems when moving from XP to Windows 7. Windows XP itself had, comparatively speaking very few hotkeys, but it seems Windows 7 is on a mission to take over the entire keyboard.

I'm buying a new graphics card for my older computer but can't make up my mind.

Right now I find my graphics card to bottle neck my system and if its not now, it will be when I upgrade the CPU and RAM later.

Set up:
Athlon XP 2400 (2.1 real)
512Mb Ram
Nvidia 400 ish

Option 1-NVIDIA

Random Spammers

It seems like portableapps.com seems to have had a few random spammer attacks since I started using PAM and regularly visit this forum, like earlier today; a spammer called candice31 bumped a lot of old posts and provided links to spam sites. From my experience, this forum that seems to have this problem in relation with two other somewhat busy forums also I visit regularly, which I have not seen these spam attacks (yet).

Online File Storage/Sharing

Can you recommend a free online file storage/sharing website? I'm not so much interested in storing files online as I am sharing them. I may need to share files a few hundred megabytes in size. I don't care if it's ad-supported. I just wonder who the main players are, and if there are any to avoid. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

@ John - Congratulations

Submitted by Deuce on September 30, 2010 - 4:59pm

Well John,

Been a long time since I have been here, I am glad everything worked as we hoped in the beginning of the adventure.

I just wanted to say congratulations on everything that has been accomplished, to you and all the developers. I had always hoped that this project would continue to grow and become what it has today.

I also always hoped i could return, but life chose another path for me.

Well congratulations my old friend.

Take care.

Deuce (Jon Durant)
