Hey guys-
As I'm getting into the mac world, I'm interested in what your main screens (what's the right term?) look like. If you guys would post a pic of your desktop (I think that's the term), I'd really appreciate it. Thanks
-Stephen

but why is the file above a meg, my res is 1440 by 900, why is it such a large file?

once i have DragThing all set up the way i want it i'm going to take everything out of the original dock and just use the different DragThing docks.

It's an app called AquaMon & it can actually display a whole load more info that that...memory usage, disk usage, mounted volumes, page ins/outs etc.

Hi, in dragthing you can create translucent docks
...its really cool. you can make them really
big and have huge icon but have different docks
that "Appear" as you wave your hand over them.
That happened to me. I was like wow, where did
my dock go and as i whent over a certain part
of the screen <fade in> "Translucent dock" :)
its very cool.
