OK, here's another bit of pointlessness. Minimize all windows that you may have open on your computer. Make a screen cap of your desktop. Post it here as an attachment. Don't link to it in the body of the message - let's be nice to the non-broadband people out there and keep the displayed images to a minimum. Mine is attached. I have a wallpaper randomizer that changes my wallpaper every so often by choosing randomly from a list. The blob thing in the middle is Maeka ( www.maeka.com), who cavorts on my desktop. rtpoe p.s. If you have a graphics program that lets you display image at "full screen" (the image only, and none of the toolbars etc.), then you can play with people's brains by opening a full screen image of their desktop and seeing how long it takes them to figure out why nothing seems to work... |

That won't work with Windows users, they'll just assume it's a crash and reboot...

Hey, you even new her real name! For those who don't know her by that name, she was known in the porn business as Shauna Grant. Tragic story, she went way in over her head, got messed up on drugs and shot herself. But she was beautiful.

A gray endless void! YAY
anyway in windows XP it does not matter where the image is you can automatically set the image you want as your desktop with the browse function in the background properties thing.

I'm from the minimalist camp. Sort of a "Felix" if you want to call me that. I started using computers when the latest OS was DOS 3.3, so I tend to have the minimal number of programs running as well as a clean desktop (even though I have 512MB of Ram). The image is usually a recent drawing I've worked on, like it is now, although I occasionally rotate the images as I feel the whim. |

CarlTL, Marathon icons are what I noticed. If the game had been more popular for Windows, maybe others would have said something as well.

Heh... probably most of you guys know what my desktop is of... especially CarlTL and Bullet. And Strider, thats an awesome backround. I used to have a Symphony of the Night pic as my old backround... then I had a nice Super Smash Brothers Melee CG pic of all the chars standing in a line... and now I'm on my current one. I'll post the other two up just for the hell of it. And Strider... any chance you can send me that pic? ;P I'm a total Castlevania freak... then again, I'm a video game freak, period.

That's not the only sign that I am a marathon freak, I have sitting in an archive a handmade marathon single player mod which includes some eighteen multiplayer levels....
I'll give you two guesses on which one has system X and which one is the system 9 boot drive. And if Bungie had released the entire Marathon series for PC too they might not have been bought out by Microsoft. 
Somewhere in the Heavens they are waiting....
Pardon me, I'm feeling rather rampant... |

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!
