Not everyone runs Windows. The background is Terzan 5.

Mine still reflects another interest. The model is not mine but the photo is.

It's good to know that I'm not the only person living in the past and still using Windows XP.

Hi All,

My mistake, I thought, as I read the thread title that it referred to what the real desk top looked like. I further thought, "None of ya' g-- damned business."

I'm not one for being neat. When I was the boss of an electronic repair platoon in the Aust. Army, the guys gave me a picture plaque. It stated, " A clean and tidy desk is a definite sign of a sick mind."


Cheers Marty

LOL! Totally non-astro. I like a nice clean, elegant desktop.

PS - I've turned my desktop Windows QuadCore 64-bit PC off, for probably the last time, and gone fully MacOSX 10.5.8 on a 64-bit Dual-G5 Tower. Beautifully slick to use.

So does than mean you have a quad core box to give away? I've got a dual CPU Pentium-III that could do with an update, to join the Q6600 I already have.

Hit the Print Screen key along the top of the keyboard then paste it into your picture program or what ever you want to paste it into
