Back in Win 95 days, there was an "Icon Editor" program, and I can't remember where I got it, but it wasn't a "Windows extra." You could create your own icon by editing individual pixels or groups of pixels.

I created an icon showing the image of a big, massive-gassive cow-plopper, with little flies buzzing around it. It was really a good "art job!" Although some might lump it together with some of those items by Maplethorpe. You know -- the Virgin sculpted from elephant pooh.

The icon caught on around the office. I passed it around as an icon for a folder-location -- where you can "store your Shee-it."

I did not know this. I like it.

Well, I applaud all creativity.....and cow and horse poo are fabulous, dense with nutrients and no contaminants....unlike the poo of meat eating species.

As for me, I could not live without my custom left handed cursors all pointing right. Being as left handed as I am, they make a world of difference.

And to a smaller but still significant degree, my new mint green titles.....just make me HAPPY.
