What Do You Have On Your Desktop?

They say that what someone has on their desktop says a lot about them.

This is what's on my PC at the moment.  What's on yours?

Re: What Do You Have On Your Desktop?

Uh ... hrm ... well ... I've got Kermit the Frog, actually. I can't prove it, because my computer bleats like an angry sheep every time I try to manipulate images in any way, shape or form, but I'm telling you the sordid truth.

You, on the other hand, Elf, are playing it safe: that bloody picture doesn't tell us anything about you that we don't already know, nice though it is (the picture, that is, not the things we know about you).

Mine changes automatically all the time. Right now it's a crop circle (purposely made, not an alien one).

Well... there was nothing in my dark side that really interested me. I guess I just dont have what it takes to be a bad guy.

I like Windows 'classic' blue colour, so that's what I have. It's soothing. But that tells you nothing about me, okay?!:)

Re: What Do You Have On Your Desktop?

that's right, Burlesque. Let it all hang out.

Triachus, I agree that Bob Sully's desktop photo is lovely. In fact, I put it on MY desktop a few hours ago. (excellent taste ou have, bob!)  All you have to do is right-click on it and go to properties. that will take you to its source, where you can copy it yourself.

Until a few hours ago, I, like Bodyhead, just had windows blue.

A '66.  I thought it was later than that.  Very,very nice mate.  When you say that it is one of yours what others do you have?

I was quite in to Yankee muscle cars a few years ago although we don't have many good examples these days on my side of the Atlantic.

Always fancied a 55 chevy al la "Two lane Blacktop" or a 69 Buick Riviera low rider for style.  I've always had a very soft spot for the Mustang though.

(Shame I can't drive really isn't it?)

The same - I don't like wallpapers.
