I’m a wallpaper whore. My wallpaper folder says I have 456 pictures in there. Somehow I always have trouble deciding on what to pick, though.

[Here’s](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/MachTurtle/techno_chaos.jpg) my current one. I like this one a lot.

My office computer uses [this photo](http://seabed.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/wallpaper2.tmpl?issue_id=20051101) from National Geographic.

My home computer has a photo of me in a bar with O-sama. Not the terrorist, the comedian/rock guitarist.

My work machine had [this sattelite composite](http://www.beaglesunlimited.com/Photos/earth_at_night.jpg) on it.

I must be the most boring person on the planet. All my systems have the default Windows XP green field background. My screensaver is the default Windows XP logo one too. I hardly ever see my desktop with all the windows I have open so I don’t bother changing it, and I am not at my computer when the screen saver is running so I don’t care what it is.

I did at one time have a internal UPS screen saver. It was a street with a UPS box on it. People would walk by, a bus would pick up people from the bus stop etc. UPS truck would come by and check the box. I lost it shortly after leaving UPS years ago. Never was able to find it on the web.

Here’s mine, a photoshopped image of my living room. (Maybe someday I’ll learn how to rename links.)

you need to hit the full reply button, and use the little picture of a link. It will give you two pop up boxes. In the first, you type the word or phrase, click OK, and in the second one, you type (or paste, having copied it in preparation) the URL, click ok. TA DA
