Since I last participated in this thread back on page 1, Iā€™ve changed my picture to a screen capture from the WB Looney Tunes DVD set. Iā€™m at work and donā€™t have access to the cartoon title. But itā€™s the one where the rain washes Bugs on his mattress out of his hole. He is about to go over a waterfall by a castle, which has neon signs flashing ā€œEvil Scientistā€ and ā€œBoo.ā€ Thatā€™s the frame I captured, of the castle and the waterfall, with the signs showing. ---

I have three computers that I use daily: The home computer: a picture of the Costa Rican coast from a sailing yacht. The work computer: a picture of the rigging of that same yacht on the open sea. The laptop: a really cool, angular picture of Fort San Felipe del Morro (in Puerto Rico). I have some new pix from whale watching that I predict will become a background pic soon. ---

My current one is [these adorable corgi pups](http://www.platinumpainthorses.com/PPH/Corgis/Images/Corgi%20Pups.JPG). The image is large, for those with a slow internet connection. I love corgiā€™s, especially puppies! Such cuties, both when they are small and when they grow up. ---

None. Dark grey and no friggin icons. ā€“ Have been times when I tried pictures of this and that, but soon found it disturbing, so I always go back to the clean grey desktop which work well with the silver scheme in my beautiful beautiful Windows XP environment.
