...and a set of snowflakes, since it's Winter... ;)

BTW, just a little tip: TinkerTool lets you change which format screenshots are saved to. On most screenshots of desktop images jpeg weighs much less than png. :)

I wish... I wish...

Just by ur desktop I can tell you have a DELL (I think),
Nope. Gateway 6400 Server with dual 1Ghz PentiumIII's. Damn it's slow. I originally bought it 4 or 5 years ago because it had dual processors, dual SCSI controllers built into the motherboard, 7 PCI slots, 4 harddrive bays (only 2 pairs of special rails though :mad: ), and it was cheap. Just waiting on the MacTels. Although I personally think the PowerPC is the superior hardware.

Encode movies,
Not really. Maybe if I had a Mac :rolleyes: . I really hate turning on my PC it's so big and loud and ugly (the door that covers the drives fell off a couple of weeks ago). I mainly watch stuff on my region free DVD player or one of my 2 PSTwo's (Black US model and White Japanese model).

are a photographer
I wish. I don't even own a camera. I tried animating the construction of the Stata center at M.I.T., a Frank Gehry design, but it took to long to photograph and I lost interest. I'm actually an illustrator. Or at least I used to be. If you look at my profile under occupation it says "Art School Dropout".

Have Verizon DSL,
Again, I wish. No, it's dail-up. We actually don't get DSL in my neighborhood. And I live in a major metropolitan area. Just minutes from Harvard Sq. There is actually a Comcast office only a few blocks from my house though.

and Windows XP
Now you are actually correct (unfortunately :( ). I'm really getting tired of Winbloz and XP's Fisher-Price my-first-operating-system interface. And that reinstalling the OS is the best solution to a lot of problems.
Wonder if the MacTels will actually be available in January. Or if they will even be all that impressive (more graphics cards that are below the minimum system requirements of most software). If they are not I might just go for a PowerPC system. I was originally considering a MacMini just because it would look cool lined up with my 6 game consoles. I really want the space saving features and power of an iMac G5. If I get a laptop it will probably be Mactel. And I just can't justify the cost of the bottom of the line DualCore G5s. The price of the quad, while expensive, makes perfect sense though.
Think I'm gonna buy a Samsung 940mw regardless of what happens at MacWorld though. HDCP with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM compatability is pretty unique. Although I think we are going to see a lot more PC monitors with HDCP in 2006 and LCD tv's with the ATSC tuners built in. I will buy something nice next year :D .

Well, since Tiger wouldn't install on my friend's B&W G3 (he needs a new Combo Drive), I decided to go ahead and put it back on my eMac. I missed it! Tiger is so much faster than Panther, I have to say. I also missed Spotlight and Dashboard!

Anyway, more Christina Ricci. :)

Mine at the moment...



Feeling a bit christmassy at the moment :rolleyes:

I've got the intro movies from panther and tiger on a loop for my desktop, but does anyone know if the others had them? If so, know of any links?

Thanks

::20ROGERSC::

Any links to the X wallpaper?
 
Here's mine. All the album artwork on the left is clickable to launch the album in itunes!
