The wallpaper is a pretty good shot of the kid waterskiing barefoot. The screen saver is the Intel-United Devices Cancer Research Project. It shows the molecule and protein the package is researching at the moment.
Chance, I’ve been staring at you expectantly for a few hours. Are you going to tell us what those Roman numerals mean or not???
Wallpaper: Picture of the Boundary Waters National Wilderness & Canoe Area in No. Minnesota
Screen Saver: O Brother Where Art Thou
At home I don’t use screensavers–I usually just turn the monitor off.
At work, when I often leave my desk w/o notice and don’t want passing coworkers to be able to read my monitor, I use a version of MAME that’s been modified to run as a screensaver–it plays PacMan or Ms Pacman. No sound, though. 
You can, however, drop a few “quarters” in and play a game or two.
Wallpaper: a picture of my husband and son in matching carhartts in the workshop. My son is 6 months old and bald as a cueball.
Screen Saver: Iron Giant
I have a Buffy the Vampire Slayer desktop and screensaver. I had to get a perfect score on a Buffy quiz to get the background.
I have a scrolling marquee which reads
My monitor just blanks out after 20 minutes of inactivity.
Dull, I know.
Heh… sorry. I would have cleared things up last night, but it was a late night out in exciting Hoboken, New Jersey, and I was in no condition to post when I got in. So I didn’t.
Anyhow, CCXLVII is the greatest number of miles I’ve ever managed to ride my bike in a week’s time—technically, three days’ biking, from Boston and across Connecticut to the New York border. It’s a challenge I’ve laid down to myself to exceed that number, but I never managed to do it this summer. I might have been able to, but having to spend my days at work cuts in to my biking time something awful, you see…
So I’ve got a pipe dream to bike from New York City to the western border of Pennsylvania, right into the small burg of Brookfield, Ohio. That’s close to… um… CD miles, or so (sticking with the Roman numeral motif). This summer, I barely managed a hundred in one week. I’ve been a little too busy, like I said.
(Oi, why can’t I give short answers?)
Wallpaper rotates, currently is this neat rendered scene of a gazebo or something. You can see it here:

when I have my dekcam on, which lately hasn’t been that often.
My screensaver is usually Folding At Home, but I turned it off a few days ago cause it was messing with my SNES Emulator and I forgot to turn it back on.
HEY! Where can I get that??? You know, you can never have enough Buffy!!!
(says the woman who has Buffy sounds for everything on all computers and is slowly driving her hubby mad with Giles’ "A vampire in love with a Slayer. It’s rather poetic. In a maudlin sort of way.’ quote.)

At work:
Wallpaper: Earth at Night, from a BMP sent to me by Zenster.
Screen saver: An AVI screensaver I put together featuring AVIs of the French Aerotrain monorail experiments. The AVIs could be downloaded from here, if the site were working properly. There is, or was, an English language version of this site, but I can’t find it at present.
At home:
Wallpaper: A picture of myself and my 4 year old granddaughter.
Screen saver: Some underwater theme thing. It may even be a Microsquash screensaver, I don’t remember.
I have the earth at night for my work wallpaper, and my screen saver is 3-D text that says “Save the screens” - I’m so clever!!
At home, the wallpaper is a photo of the Thomas Point light in the Chesapeake Bay. We don’t use a screen saver because the monitor goes to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity.
My wallpaper came from http://www.digitalblasphemy.com/ and my screen saver is the falling matrix code.

a picture of the earth at summer solstice from “earth and Moon Viewer”
Wallpaper: Hannibal Lecter, tiled
Screen Saver: The phrase “No killing, only maiming” scrolling in a scary red font on a black background. This is one of my favorite phrases, and was not meant to go with the wallpaper.
I am not mentally disturbed. Really.
I’d have crawled over broken glass to download a screensaver by Opal, but… well, I guess y’all will understand. Not that I’m suggesting He wouldn’t like pogo sticks.
So I download pretty much every screensaver I find. My favourites are the trumpet player and the jester from expressit.com, the ***incomparable ***Johnny Castaway, who is frankly miles more entertaining than Mr Hanks, and his spacefaring disciple PcPete (run a search).
As for wallpaper I have a copy of my impending child’s ultrasound. Before that it was pretty much a free-for-all. I used Webshots for a while, and downloaded archives of cartoons to use as progressive wallpaper, but it’s too hard.
I use WebShots and have them rotating every 10 seconds when the screen saver is on and every hour for the wallpaper. With 13 million to choose from I’m never tired of seeing them and everyone in the house can choose what they want. No one has too look at anything they don’t like for more than an hour.
bobkitty, it is at:
Take the Slayer Quiz to get the wallpaper. If you are a fan, it’s pretty easy to score perfect on the quiz. I got it on my first try. They also have another wallpaper available (without taking the quiz), and one screensaver.
Wallpaper is a shot of the Earth taken from the Moon on one of the Apollo missions.
Screensaver is Mrs. Stoney’s choice - A changing series of Maxfield Parrish art. Not my favorite stuff, but in the name of harmony, I can stand it.
