Come on… David Bowie? With the middle finger???

I can't tell if you're intentionally being sarcastic, or if it just looks that way to everyone but you.

Also notice the easily accessible mounted network drives - further showing proof of Jaguar's ridiculously easy network capabilities.

The mounted network drives have been easily accessible since Windows 95.
They were kinda hard to set up, but with XP it's painless.

Seriously though, your desktop is unorganized, chaotic, and bland. Too much white. Too little content. Too much flash. Very Apple.

OK, this is what I see when I start X:



As you can see... it's not very cluttered . Everything's in the taskbar (which is hidden) and/or behind a left-click...

Here's mine

[Asher]

I've got a blue version of those 'shrooms on my Linux desktop.

Asher: YOU, my friend, will quite obviously never be 'indie'. Or, to put it another way, 'cultured'. I've heard some of the bands you like!!!

"Seriously though, your desktop is unorganized, chaotic, and bland. Too much white. Too little content. Too much flash. Very Apple. "
Unorganized? No. Perhaps my organization reaches such a level that it becomes incomprehensible to someone so used to 'formalism' and 'structure' such as yourself. Too little content? Well, it has my drives, and a dock (hidden)… Those have content. To much flash? Style, style my friend! And you obviously heard that white is the new black…
Thanks for the compliment about it being very apple though!

[Felch]

It was originally blue, but I prefer things to be green, so I changed it.

Do you mean I've never rebelled against the status quo for the sake of rebelling against the status quo? You're right, I'm a utilitarian. I use what I like, and I like what's good and functional. You can see why I have problems with Apple's products.

Unorganized? No. Perhaps my organization reaches such a level that it becomes incomprehensible to someone so used to 'formalism' and 'structure' such as yourself.

In the same sense that a child's jibberish reaches such a level that it becomes indomprehensible to someone so used to 'language' and 'communication' such as...everyone.

Too little content? Well, it has my drives, and a dock (hidden)… Those have content.

The icons are oversized, there's too few of them, in no particular order or arrangement. Disorganized and lack of content.

To much flash? Style, style my friend!

But it's ugly.
You see cuteness, I see hideousness and wasted CPU cycles.

[monolith94]

cpu cycles, right…
For the record, this is my NEW desktop.
I wanted something a bit more romanticized

[Zopperoni]

Who needs desktop shortcuts anyway?

[Al B. Sure!]

thanks

[Asher]

Here you go Speer.

[monolith94]

I totally never saw that coming…

Maybe I'm too stupid to work with this, but how can I make the image I pasted in Paint to be posted here? If I try to post it the way I saved it, the forum says it is too big. If I try to resize it, then the image gets blurred.

Hmm, I think that you are all posting images hosted on your own websites, using the IMG tags. Am I right?

[Alex]

Never mind, I figured it out myself.

Ok, don't laugh. I have some sort of obsession with this lady. My wife hates her, of course, and says she wants to kill her. I told her: "Play the game. You'll have plenty of opportunities to do so."

Here's mine.

I actually use webshots, so my background changes each day. I have a LOT of BGs, including Digital Blasphemy and Greg Martin, my two favourite 3D CG image artists. The one I have now is by Ryan Gill, who's site no longer exists
