May I ask for the link to the rainmeter skin you used for the hard drive and memory monitors? (the circles) Thanksjsmorley wrote: It's not nimrod, but Autoit3, and it just uses a new feature of Google Translate.

It's my own creation and not really something packaged for release. Here is the relevant code for the hard drive displays, the circles are simple "Roundline" meters.
You will need these three images if you want the "drive lights"

I know that this will be the dumbest question in the history of Rainmeter but here goes...
How do I add this to my desktop?

Not sure what she costs... however, well, you know... };] Now I am trying to figure out how to get her to read my RSS and my random quotes. }:]
I also wanted to thank kenz0 for the say.vbs script, it works wonderfully!
p.s. looks like the link is down right now, hopefully they fix it, or I could send you an mp3 sample of her reading something... can we do that here?

Sure, you can attach it if it is fairly small, or just host it on MediaFire.com.
