Yeah right. So a couple days ago my aim windows stopped blinking. You know, that flashing light in the corner of your eye when you're editing a photo, surfing a forum. The intrusive and annoying perpetual flash in your peripheral vision, begging for your attention? Yeah, that one. Well it stopped being so annoying because it stopped flashing and well.. I began to miss the sucker.
Apparently, it is really annoying to have to tab through all your windows to see if someone has said anything new. Compound that with the fact that I am so incredibly popular and you have a big disaster on your hands. So I did what I always do when I encounter a road block, I search for other people who were once in the same situation as me.
The solution? There was no solution. Apparently, the only fix was to format my computer. So here I am, on my laptop, waiting for my computer to finish setting up. A new beginning.. or something like that. I just want my annoying flashing buddy back. Then life can go back to being normal again.

lol... so you format your computer because of that!
See that's what you get for thinking bad thoughts about it. I had the same problem as you for a couple months. It annoyed the crap out of me too but I never looked into fixing it. People must have thought I was ignoring them or just really slow... or both. But somehow my problem went away.. I think maybe after I upgraded it or reinstalled it or something. Who knows...
Well hope you get your buddy back.
That white bouncing blob thing is a fruit...
Anyway just stopped by to read your pd70x review again. Hopefully your poor review will keep me rom purchasing it.
