Well, I can’t post my desktop as the powers that be would find it amiss. But, here is a link to the image I have set as my wallpaper… the homepage of the site has a ton of kick ass jpegs that are specifically for wallpaper, if you like… [santi’s wallpaperdotcom](http://www.digitalblasphemy.com/dbgallery/5/shibaozhai1024.shtml) * * * “Winners never quit and quitters never win, but those who never win and never quit are idiots.” ---

I’m on my PC now, and have the PC desktop picture to share. It’s a cluttered mess compared to my Mac. That’s because my PC has a larger hard drive, and I’ve had it longer than the Mac! More time to cram all sorts of crap on it… The background picture is of Yosemite’s Half Dome - photo I got off the web somewhere.

Okay, here’s mine: [http://www.hotkey.net.au/~potiki/guanodesk.jpg](http://www.hotkey.net.au/~potiki/guanodesk.jpg) I made that picture myself - I’m playing with a 3D modelling / animation program, and I figured this little guy had some simple shapes to learn with. I change my desktop regularly. For a long while I had a kick-ass Lara Croft pic on there that was just breathtaking. * * * [The Legend Of PigeonMan](http://www.hotkey.net.au/~guanolad/pigeonman/) - **Shadow of the Pigeon** - Weirdo of the Night ---

The wallpaper I have keeps changing, the kids save all kinds of junk.I share this computer with my son, so he’s put in a LegoLoco screen saver. Trouble is, it blasts music as it goes on. The arial views of little trains moving are pretty neay. Sorry, no time to mess with a sample. ---

I had forgotten about this “theme” I had downloaded a long time ago…I found it today and with the help of Lexicon and that Transtext thingy I was able to create the desktop that shows a love that I have: [http://www.cwcm.net/wolfdesk.html](http://www.cwcm.net/wolfdesk.html) I linked to the guys site that created this theme, plus he has instructions and links to programs so you can create your own.

OgreFade: Did you do that sketch in your background? Aenea: Thanks. You can stay. 😃 Cessandra: Where that pic from, it looks familiar. Is it just some advertising? Boscibo: You this that’s bad? I took a screenshot of a download to send to a friend… he was grabbing the SW Ep1 trailer on a 56k modem. I grabbed it on cable and got 1089KB/s… 🙂 He didn’t talk to me for a week. YosemiteBabe: Yeah, looks like the only Mac in this collection. Shayna: Don’t suppose the pictures are available without the screensaver? Prose: You’ve got a broken link. Change the picture src to desktop.jpg instead of the link onto C: drive and it’ll work. 🙂 Xekul: Cool, a Linux user. Looking good. Water: That was the type of picture I used to have, a sat pic of my place. I’ll post a link. OgreFade: LiteStep. How is that to use now? I was playing with it around a year or so ago. GuanoLad: Lara Croft? Ugh. Dude, if you’ve gotta look at pixelated pr0n, download a picture of a real woman. TechChick: Nice pic. I like it. Jophiel: Nice landscape, for one that doesn’t exist. If the mesh was a bit finer, the sharp shadows wouldn’t appear on the front left. Nice clouds. Ok, my pics again, cause a mean moderator took them away! 😛🙂 [http://www.members.home.com/whitenight/pictures/WNight\_Desktop.jpg](http://www.members.home.com/whitenight/pictures/WNight_Desktop.jpg) - My desktop in all its spartan splendor.
