Windows 7 Corvette Theme Available

As promised I have completed version 1 of a corvette theme for Windows 7. You can download it at

http://www.deanblakely.com/corvettetheme.aspx

(its 10 meg so I can't post it here)

After I get back from a trip I will be enhancing it with additional sounds and corvette pics (if anybody sends me any more).

after a few more versions I'll see if I can get Microsoft to offer it up on their theme site (but it's got to be cool)

they are just hi-res pics of vettes. Its just a theme so there is no risk. If you don't like it you can just delete it. I uploaded one of the 10 or so pictures which is of one of the coolest vettes in the world

Ive noticed that with each service pack, they become less stable.

Sure enough, my home box is starting to act a bit odd. The power settings do not seem to work correctly, and a couple of times on login some process crashed.

The silver one with the after market wheels, I know exactly where that picture is taken. I drive right through there every time I visit my in-laws.

I also happen to know of some super gnarly twisties not to far from there...
