Mine is a neat night picture of the Millennium Force rollercoaster at Cedar Point.

Once you go a couple steps higher, it's hard to go back... everything looks too big O_o.

its not really a matter of how big they look. (even tho every icon looks like a giant elephant on 800x600)
Its more about the wasted screen space. 10 icons take up half your screen. you cant fit as many windows. and dont even get me started on webpages. OMG, you fit like a fraction of the page on the screen at a time... read a sentance scroll. read a sentance scroll.

i cant imagine these forums on that resolution. one word takes up a full page.

Not to mention the higher res you go the more sharp and nice everything looks.

*switches to 800x600 just to take a look*

WTF, screens all white. nothings showing on it.... Oh!! damn, that was just my mouse curser takin up the whole screen. ;) :P

I don't like higher resolutions... stuff is too small...
I don't need billions of icons on my desktop...
Fitting more stuff in the browser at once doesn't make me look through it faster... And I have a nifty scroll thing in a convenient place on my keyboard anyways...

~fin~

I never even paid attention to the resolution setting. but you are correct, my friend! This is so much better!

actually icons suck on desk top. was just using it as an example from all thoes pictures.

i have 3 icons total on my desktop background. rest are in tool bars neatly on the side of the screen.

and i hear the 'stuff is too small' argument many many times. (mostly by old people and ppl that are newer to computers,) everyone of them would shoot themselves to go back to it after getting used to a higher one, (except for the older ones, they're too old to learn anything new)
its all good. ;)


And see, vamp has just evolved. there will be no going back for him, and soon he will get annoyed whenever he has to use a computer with a low resolution. :p

I used to have it on the lowest resolution back when I was first using a computer... like 640xsomething... then I tried out different resolutions, and settled on 800x400... Bitch...

:sneaky:

And yes, Dyne, Malice Mizer rules... As does Dir en grey... You like them? (^____^

hehe, 800x600 has always been default. so you'd of had to lower it to get it lower before. and not many computers will even go that low for normal use. only way i've seen it get that low is to hook a TV up for a monitor.

but its ok. im not saying your new at computers. it might just be that your really old :D *








* ;) you know im just playin with ya man.
