I have made a WinAmp skin (two, actually) themed like HAL 9000 from 2001 : A Space Odyessy. If anyone is interested, E-mail me to talk. No Playlist or Eq...sorry.

I have these images up. --HALlustrious-- <img src=http://thematrix.acmecity.com/realworld/214/hallustri.gif> This is the first one I made, and not quite as nice as the second, but if you like this one, I can't stop you. --HAL-BLUES-CTX-- <img src=http://thematrix.acmecity.com/realworld/214/halblues.gif> This is the second skin, this time with blue circuitry and some nicer details. Overall, my favorite. SSB

how hard is it to make your own skin?

Not too hard at all. It involves quite a bit of small art. Mine aren't anthing especially fuzzy or cloudy, so it was just a lot of drawing lines. I even drew the letters in the title. There are some decent effects in these, too, and thats a lttle more art. The hardest part was putting the circuits in HAL BLUES CTX. That involved a LOT of cut and paste, and of the rest of the skin, not the circuits. I reccomend that you try to make your own skin, it's actually a lot of fun, and you're pretty darn proud of it when you're done. -SSB

Ok not to sound stupid, but Hal was the computer from 2001 right?

Yepper that's the one. HAL 9000 According to http://mitpress.mit.edu/e-books/Hal/foreword/foreword1.html (http://mitpress.mit.edu/e-books/Hal/foreword/foreword1.html) the name is derived from Heuristic ALgorithmic <img src=http://www.cnn.com/TECH/9702/28/hal.update/hal.jpg> My turn, What kinds of things can you do with a winAmp skin?

Yes, It's been awhile since I've seen it but I thought it and the sequel, 2010, was pretty good. While looking for the eye pic I found out that they are planning a re-release of 2001 in less than two years, I wonder if they'll do a Special edition like SW.

I think 2001 was a real genre-breaking film. It showed people a very realistic view of space technology, and had a great story. It gave the world what may be the most famous computer ever : HAL 9000. -SSB
