*Blushes* I did it myself.

Actually, I cut the car out and stuck it on the road. I didn't like the road it was on originally. Can't remember why...

I took the photo myself a few weeks ago. I wish I had taken one today of the mountains down here. I was playing some baseball, and the clouds were like orange, and the mountains were purple, and rays of sun were coming down. It was great!

Here's my os 9 desktop.... last time I posted my X one but I have since swithed back to good old classic. Nice pics everyone.

classic is so cool
more customizable

I have never seen that Dock thingy in classic! Where did you get it? I still like classic over X. I really hope Apple can make Skinz to X so I can cut off these kiddy colors. The colors also use lots of the processor power.

This is why I'm a bit unsatisfied with the 1152x768 resolution in the TiBook:

Careful, it's a 1.8MB 1600x1200 PNG image.

Thank god for the ability to use an external monitor. :)

Woah! You have a lot of apps in your Dock! Ever thought about pulling out the ones you don't use often? ;)

irmongoose

Mar 17, 2002, 03:20 AM

the thing is, I use everything but 3 of them all the time!

but i've kept those 3 things in such hard-to-find places that i just keep them in the dock for whenever I need them...

:D

I know somebody will remark that my last pic had alot of drives in it. Well, here's one I took when I was transfering files from my PowerBook to my iMac using the PB in target disk mode.

When I was, like, 7, my super-cool babysitter rented "Rattle and Hum" for us to watch one night. I've been a complete fanatic ever since. I've seen them 6 times in concert, the latest being in December at the Ice Palace. Bono is quite possibly the only man I would go straight for. :D

And now, my current desktop:

(oh, and for whoever asked, in OS X it's apple-shift-3 for a screenshot).

Ok, hold these 3 buttons at the same time when you want to take a picture of exactly what you see:

Command + Shift + 3

Not much of a picture: just an impressionist painting of the Hong Kong metro transit railway. Lots of sentimental value for me. Anyhow, I sometimes have a picture of Iron Man or Flash instead. Sometimes even a picture from the game "Oni."

plz keep this thread going, i find people's desktop decoration/arrangement interesting.

for example, i refused to make the dock transparent until i saw your desktops. now i love it and have found what is for me the most functional place.
