I wasn't blown away by the art or anything, but the writing was top notch. It's the only series I've ever bought that all my friends waited anxiously for me to pick up the next issue, even though they don't read comics. But now we're getting off topic :)

Thanks. I'm very happy with how that picture came out. Still, the sheer massiveness of the surroundings doesn't ever seem to translate well to film.

Buy a mac :wink: It's a setting on the desktop control panel. About a third of those beach pictures came with OS X.

Kidding aside, I'm not sure on a PC, but there has to be some shareware or something that will do that for you.

edit: lol see the post above :)

OSX has a built in feature to change desktops at startup or at set intervals ranging from every five seconds to every 24 hours. I used to have 30 or so pictures of attractive women I'd cycle through, but I found myself waiting for Grace Park to come up each time so I wound up just setting it to her.

Awesome picture and you are damn right. I think she is much better looking than Anna Kournikova. Plus Maria can actually play tennis very well.

I restarted my laptop and logged on. To my surprise, the sexiest female actress appeared on my desktop along with my docks.

I am so glad you posted this link. For some reason I've been unable to find this software again after my last harddrive died.

Currently I have:
