Zip file attached:

At home I tend to use pictures of my pet rabbit, Snuff.

On my work PC I use all kinds of crap, but at the moment I am cycling through pieces from www.banksy.co.uk

Also in the attached zip is a picture I took on my phone of Old Harry Rocks near my home, that I have been thinking about putting on my home PC.

I just use the "Circles" wallpaper that comes with Windows. I rarely find any images I like enough to use as wallpaper. I once had a pretty cool picture of a dragon, but using it as wallpaper seemed to make my computer less stable.

That's quite common. If you're going to use a backdrop picture of something heavy, like a dragon, it's always a good idea to make sure the heavy item is central on the screen. If it is to one side, you should at least make sure there is something of approximately equal weight on the other side of the picture to balance it out.

That should fix most instability problems

Here is mine. I am thinking of redoing it as I have had this desktop for some time. It's about time for a change.

Default Warning Thread Hijack in Progress!

Who here is:

1. Using Linux?
2. Have you used Windows? If so why did you switch?
3. How much did it cost?
4. Can your PC talk to a Windows PC on the same network?

I ask because I have been wondering about switching my OS and I have other computers sharing the same network; the kids computers, but I need to stay connected to them. So far I have been with MS since the days of MS-DOS 3.something-er-other. Anyway I figure if I don't change soon I might as well give up. Funny how things work out. In the Army computers were part of my job. Now days I am not sure what is what and which is best. You probably don't even want to know the specs of this computer!
