Zurawski Pilot	posted 09-12- 12:03 AM Well... I have to admit I'm quite anal about keeping my desktop orderly. (Hell, I even hide all my system files on the root!) IP: Logged
Tailslide Pilot	posted 09-12- 12:24 AM Yeah it's 1600x1200.. the background is active desktop showing a web page. Handy for figuring out whats good on TV, etc. TS IP: Logged

DanW Pilot	posted 09-12- 11:48 AM Wow, And I'm an ex-alcholic too. IP: Logged
Mighty General	posted 09-12- 01:26 PM I really like some of those images. Pete, where did you get that one? This one is based off of a t-shirt I used to have. I need to find a more distinct spiral galaxy image for it, though. IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 09-12- 02:20 PM If I remember right Mighty I got it from Skinz.org for one of those Litestep type programs. I liked it so much when I went back to the regular desktop I kept it. One of the nicest graphics I've seen yet [This message has been edited by Pete Hawk (edited 09-12-2000).] IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 09-12- 05:18 PM Spanky here... Well here is an old one, I need to get a server going before I can upload a new one. I'm running litestep so theres nothing on my desktop except for the popup and stuff. IP: Logged
Jeeves Pilot	posted 09-13- 08:32 PM Hey... How do you take a shot of your desktop? This is pretty cool...you can tell a lot about you guys by what's on your desktop...very interesting post! ------------------ Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless! Jeeves =FC= IP: Logged
Mighty General	posted 09-13- 08:40 PM Jeeves, the simplest way is to tap Print Screen. That copies the screen to the Windows clipboard. Paste that into a paint program. Save it as a JPG and then you need a web site to post it to so that you can refer to it in your message, here. Spanky, that blueprint-like image is pretty sharp. IP: Logged
Jeeves Pilot	posted 09-13- 09:40 PM Thanks Mighty... Well, I tried it to see if I could post mine, and got as far as finding it in clipboard...but when I went to paste it to alter in Paint, it wouldn't work...aww well-- I'll give you three guesses as to what my desktop features anyways...no surprises here ------------------ Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless!

silas Pilot	posted 09-13- 10:00 PM Ok, just to add to the download time of this topic I'll let you look at mine. It's interesting to see how others set theirs up and that I am not the only one full of icons. As this gets longer, I sure glad I've ADSL ------------------ silas Demon's Runway Fortes fortuna adiuvat [This message has been edited by silas (edited 09-13-2000).] IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 09-14- 01:18 AM Spanky here... Hehe boy you guys are messy, You should see my hard drive though, stuff all over the place. LOL yeah that Blueprint was originaly just a reg line drawing but I made it a negative and then colorized it with blue, It came out pretty cool looking. It looks alot better without the JPG compression. I think i might do it again with another one, cause i'm getting board of my present desktop. IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 09-14- 02:23 AM So what size monitors are you guys running on? Me, a 19" Princeton. I had a ViewSonic but it had serious bowing along the top edge so I switched. Tailslide, you seem to have a huge monitor there, 21" or bigger? IP: Logged
Tailslide Pilot	posted 09-14- 10:11 AM I have a 21" viewsonic, don't notice any bowing although it does have adjustments for stuff like that. I really like the USB hub in the monitor base for joysticks, etc. It'll do 1920x1440 but the text is too tiny then. TS ------------------ Patch It! www.airsims.com IP: Logged
Mighty General	posted 09-14- 12:17 PM 21" Sony here at work, and 21" Hitachi at home. I've had the Hitachi for about four years, now, and it still looks good. It's running on its second computer. IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 09-14- 12:59 PM TS, Mine had the adjustments too but even Fry's where I bought it agreed it was defective. The bowing was so bad and the controls wouldn't make it go away. Too bad because they are top quality monitors. I ended up paying about $200 less for this one but so far so good, it's doing great. IP: Logged
Luny Pilot	posted 09-14- 02:24 PM Hehe here's what I see when I ctd ... ------------------ Luny=225th= IP: Logged
Sv Pilot	posted 09-14- 03:33 PM I have a 19" Viewsonic "perfect flat" screen - I like it, it makes lines nice and true! Handy for 3d modeling It did blow once and I had it replaced... hmmmm... It does look sweet though... -Sv IP: Logged
DanW Pilot	posted 09-14- 05:46 PM Same here Sv, 19 inch Viewsonic PF 790... it rocks IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 09-14- 06:25 PM I just have a 17 inch Proview 770. Its pretty sharp, but not the best. Ive ben thru about 4 monitors in my life time. The first one I still have and it still works to my amazement! It was a 15 inch Samtron I got in '92. The one after that was a 15 inch NEC, but it blew after 2 years. Luckily I had the warrenty and it replaced the NEC with a new 17 inch Proview 550. But it blew after 1 1/4 years. Luckily I STILL had the warrenty for that and got another Proview (The manufacturers warrenty said it would only replace it with a like model) so now I have a 17 inch Proview 770. Ive only payed for 1 monitor, lol the NEC. The warrenty payed for all the rest. and the Samtron was bought for me by my mom. ------------------ -=Make sims, not hype=- Visit My Site! http://ArgonV.tripod.com/My_Page.html IP: Logged
Mighty General	posted 09-14- 10:58 PM BTW, I thought you might be interested in my home desktop, too. This is one of my favorite images. I used to have a nice space theme of icons and sounds, but lost them in a disk crash. [This message has been edited by Mighty (edited 09-14-2000).] IP: Logged
Stark Pilot	posted 09-15- 01:12 AM Great picture Mighty! My dad has the very first print of that photo (number 0000). The president got 0001. Long story short, he was stationed at White Sands New Mexico at the time the photo was originally developed and the tech owed him a big favor...so photo 0000 'disappeared' into my dads den. To this day it is his most prized possesion. -Stark Oh yeah... here's mine. And I took the photo in about 60ft of water of the coast of Oahu, Hawaii about 2 weeks ago.

Tailslide Pilot	posted 09-15- 01:27 AM Mighty, I notice you have an icon or two (or twenty!) in your system tray IP: Logged
Mighty General	posted 09-15- 01:02 PM Stark, that's way cool about your dad having that print. That picture still gives me shivers when I think about what it represents. Tail, yeah, I have a lot of little doodads that make my computer work the way I want it to (all except the crashing part. I hate Windows.) Back in my DOS days I went through bouts of running several TSRs, too. IP: Logged
Aladar Pilot	posted 09-15- 09:35 PM Well, I found a GREAT DESKTOP IMAGE today, here is what it looks like! IP: Logged
