Here is the one that I use on my parent's computer. The background is a yet to be released photo that I took.

Methinks Ms Kendall was talking about the biggest she could make the pic within the limits of img tags.
You are correct Batty :P

Mind if I get a copy of that, it's a better pic than the one I use now on my lappy ;)

I took this in July 2003 and use it for a desktop now and again, mostly because I thought the tiny little cricket in the center (most easily viewed at the higher resolutions linked here) looks kind of cool:

Is that a cricket or is it a stink bug? It's very hard to see it even when I blow the picture up...

Anyhow, that's a nice picture too :) Good job :)

Well, either it was a real, tiny cricket, or a stinkbug in disguise! :D

Those are some loverly desktops. I don't normally participate in this forum, but I was compelled when I saw Bounty's desktop. It was interesting for me because I use that same wallpaper on my work computer.

On my other work computer I use another piece by the same artist:

(That black section was purposely cut out.)

And because I'm a completist, here's what is currently on my home computer:

Here's mine: *NSFW*

Oddly enough, MSN and Windows Messenger managed to get on the most used programs list, and I've never even used them. :?

Life, your whole life, is changes. It goes back and forth throughout your whole life. Desktops are not exempted, and so I bid my previous wallpaper farewell and welcomed this one:

And why not Haruhara Haruko? Here is a very strange woman seeking Unlimited Power. Plus she uses a fucking Rickenbacker Model 4003 bass guitar as weapon and rides around on a Vespa. Don't mess.

You have no idea how hard it is to find Grey Knights artwork. It's almost as if my favorite Astartes chapter is intentionally and willfully neglected. :cry:

Yes, I know how bad a necro it is, but I consider it better than making a new thread.

Now that's a clean desktop. 2 desktop icons and 9 items on the dock menu. And the dock menu hides unless the mouse cursor is over it.

Was wondering about the huge page length and why I don't remember a desktop thread getting posted recently. . . . anyways. Latest desktop for
my machine.

Hasn't changed in months I suppose with the last one having Imperators.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
