I suck at math. So sorry. :wink:
And I've seen quite a number of not spaceship-related desktops even from the male population of this board so far. Plus, at least mine isn't Batman-themed apart from a single icon, you ought to be thankful for that :razz:
I know Lindar would love it but unfortunatly she's not online much during the summer and she'll probaby miss this thread by a million miles.

So? You had the good taste to use it. I salute you on it.

I'm reasonably certain that just this once Master Bruce did not have an agenda, Mistress Kendall.
Worried about that next paycheck aren't we, Alfred? :twisted:

Um-I see nothing indicating this couldn't be 2000 or XP.

The start bar looked wrong to me...I could just be making a bad assumption.

Um-there is no start bar in that screencap, all there is is the start button. Which, regardless of what iteration of the OS Rob uses, looks like that. Well excepting pre-95 versions of course.

This rig is running Win2kSP4. The problem might be because I'm on a roaming profile.

Apple+Shift+3 should do the trick.

Apple+Shift+4 should allow you to take a screenshot of a selected area.

edit: unless you mean you're using a mac keyboard but not actually a mac.

I think he meant the task bar.

Of course, the more important question is why Dalton appaears to be using IE...

That desktop is super, Red.

Anyway, mine:
Current desktop since I'm at home. I haven't found something better to replace it yet since all my good desktops are on another computer which I don't have access to right now. Looks alot like my older dog, but isn't.

Apartment desktop (Not Work Safe!) I just like it because of it comes into focus when I turn on my moniter after a rough day of university. Try it, look at the desktop, turn off your monitor, wait like ten seconds and turn it back on. It's very nice.
