What's your PC desktop look like

[dpastern (Dave Pastern)]

Well, here's mine, very messy at the moment, I'm too lazy to clean it up lol. I have a 24" widescreen LCD monitor, so I can fit lots on it. The wallpaper is an original image (natural light Robberfly with prey - native Australian Bee).

Usually something like this:

No seriously, it's been Gendler's Andromeda for ages

Here's my current desktop. The photo is not mine but love it so hope the owner of this photo does not mind me using it as my desktop.

I regularly change my desktop backgrounds and always use images of astronomical interest.
ATM I've one of my own on display. (I've been told I live in a nettie centric universe so why fly against public opinion)

I've set up a bunch of Hubble images to cycle through on windows 7 - That's my fave

[Marclau (Marcel)]

thats nice Astro............very nice............not sure if its done, but we should create a poll.............ummm

Also, how are you finding Windows 7? Running Beta I assume? ANy compatibility issues?

[Ric]

Seeing as I am at work

Here is my current work desktop.

The home lappy definitely looks more exciting.

Cheers

My desktop is a shot of the Earth spread across two screens.

When I spin my 'Compiz Cube' my skydome picture is a panorama of somewhere out in space.

I found both these pictures on the net, and therefore, have no idea where they come from.

I'm Lovin' it. I call it MacWindows - all of the pretties and runs all my software!

The only issues I have had have been with [ironically] IE8 which has a cookie handling problem, otherwise near flawless.

I had a pic of my first grandkid, Seth, on my desktop at work. 3 months old lying on a white sheepskin and wearing only a santa hat.
A comment was made to an engineer sitting at the next desk re naked children and all that it has conotations of nowadays. So I used Paintshop Pro to put a nappy on him and sent it to the girl in question with the comment I had put it on so he wouldn't pee on my keyboard. Never heard another word
