    Beware of those 'other realms'. Especially RL. I was an editor in RL in the 70's/80's/90's. ;)

    (this is not an application)

    So late to reply... But curiously enough I was also RL editor of a small monthly magazine we ran on the Physics School of my University from 2002 to 2008. We called it "La QuantiTica" (Quantum + Tico being the usual reference to Costa Ricans in latin america).

    It started as a single 8x17 sheet of paper folded in the middle, 4 pages of content, and the last one was similarly created with 16 pages. We ran articles on current research in the Uni's research centers, news from the School staff and the Students Association staff, "Envelope Physics" challenges, scientific humour and weird fringe-science histories.

    I edited and compiled it all in PAINT at the start, as I had no other tools back then! I didn't even had a computer, did it all in Internet Cafes. I loved it... 

    I think I should have been journalist...

    I have an idea!

    Just for the record... During my tenure we USED a standard format for all regional dispatches, which was coproduced by Drachmaland and myself:

    I actually used it for the official dispatches (and just recently re-used it):

    https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=607754
    https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=536247

    I'm not saying you should use this one, but it has been done before, you can leverage that one or start one from scratch. But I agree with the idea of a common theme.

    Now have 6 desktops and 2 laptops in the house that have bit the bullet and gone to 10. I am an insider and have seen 10 since it's preview days. Networking them all was initially an issue, but seems to be fine now. And I HATE icons and installed the menu replacement at http://www.classicshell.net/ that makes it at least look like 7.

    Hah! I love that! Totally about to install on my recently updated laptop. Good shit there QD

    The  update process thru the builds has been an adventure. It has blown a few things up here an there but easily repaired. Finding drivers for some of my "Legacy" equipment was more effort than it had to be. But overall, it works. 

    Mine blew my HDD to hell... other than that, no issues...

    Windows 3.1 started it -> Not as bad, honestly

    Windows 95 was a new kernal and buggy,  -> Agreed

    Windows 98 fixed it and very stable  -> Mostly agreed

    Windows ME was the worst operating system ever written -> Truest truth ever written

    Windows XP fixed it and was very stable   -> I loved it

    Windows Vista was a new kernal, buggy and pissed alot of people off  -> Second worst after ME imo.

    Windows 7 addressed the user issues (to a point) and was very stable  -> Agreed

    Windows 8 had it's issues, somewhat fixed by 8.1, but still buggy. Marketing mistake in making a PC look and act like a smart phone  -> I HATED it due to the look, as you say, a TERRIBLE CHILDISH AND STUPID mistake...

    Windows 10 now seems to be that next release that addressed some user issues with 8 and appears to be the next stable release to be around awhile  -> I can only hope...
