Thanks
Awesome, thanks for the kind words, I wasn't sure at first but I'm starting to like it more (since I had to pic from about 60 simialr shots, it's hard to know which picture is "the opne")
would u happen to have any PRSs?
Sure do...However few of them I would consider to be wallpaper material or "artsy" by any strech. They were primarily pictures I took for to be e-mailed to customers. Also, the lens I was using sucked. Whereas the lens I use now is a 50mm prime, much sharper.
here are some pics of PRS's I took where I used to work
I love that car.
For this month this on the iMac then blackbook
makes me smile every time.

thanks for sharing

Here is my Desktop so far for October...
USS The Sullivans DDG68 (destroyer)
Aloha Macintosh Sauce,
As a member of the Fleet Reserve (22 years active), it was a pleasant surprise to come across your entry. Although I prefer aircraft carriers (USS Dwight D. Eisenhower CVN-69 was my first ship), I was also on a destroyer and they are fine ships. Fair winds and following seas.

In 1982, I was in the Canadian Naval Reserve when I graduated from high school. The US Navy wanted me to enlist and then become a US Citizen. That is where I made the stupidest mistake of my life - I went to university in Canada instead.
The U.S. Navy has issued to me a U.S. Social Security number and I was ready to enlist, but I changed my mind as mentioned above. I regret that decision to this day. When I moved to the U.S. in 2002 to be with my American-born wife, that SSN was still valid but never used before by me. For that reason, the Social Security Administration promptly reissued me a new card because I was becoming a U.S. Permanent Resident. Soon, I am filing for U.S. Citizenship naturalization. I can't wait either, because I have always known my destiny is here in the U.S.
I wish I would have joined the U.S. Navy even at 32, because stupid me joined the Canadian Army at that time and got permanently disabled. Now I have to walk with a cane for the rest of my life.
Anyone who has been at sea understands this... I miss being at sea so much.
HawaiiMacAddict... I have been on many ships as well, but I have always enjoyed going on American naval ships because they are always nicer IMHO.
The last ship I was on was the USS Reuben James. I have never been on an aircraft carrier though, but I have seen them at sea. Beautiful! Personally, I prefer destroyers because I have been on several of them.
I will try and throw one or two in every other month or so..
Yes, They are Sony, MDR-V700's to be precise.
B & W pics I have many.. I will begin to post some in B&W for future month's
Thanks again for the responses, I'll try my best to keep with it monthly.
Black Translucent Menu Bar
Inverted Menubar Icons
Posted earlier in the thread. Just follow the directions in the first link, double click the menubar icons you want. I used iStat Menu for the clock and battery (unfortunately I'm not sure how to get the spotlight icon inverted). It'll be a black menubar initially, but if you go into System Preferences/Desktop & Screensaver and check/uncheck 'translucent menu bar' it'll turn it grey. I like it either way.
