One of the best perks I got from writing fan fiction was cover art by N8. I liked the Perfect Dark one so much I use it as my desktop picture. As you can see, I'm kind of a minimalist guy myself.

If you look closely, you can also find the only digital picture of me in existence. Well, sort of.

Xantar, you picture came as sort of a surprise. I wasn't expecting such a conservative appearance. I thought you'd have semi-long hair. :unsure: Nice desktop. :)

Semi-long hair? Whatever gave you that impression? Do I come off as a hippy or something?

And yes, you knew that I wouldn't miss an opportunity to plug my fanfics. :D

You're using IE, Xantar.

: fume :

Actually, that's because I never bothered to delete the Internet Explorer icon from my desktop. I use Netscape 7 which is conveniently kept in the Apple menu in the upper left.

I could probably use Opera, but I don't really feel like paying for a web browser.

Xantar, of all people I'm surprised to be hearing you stereotyping. Not all hippies have long hair. And no, I don't think you're a hippy. I guess I'm guilty of steroetyping also, when I assumed someone who's just not "another face in the crowd" should have something out of the ordinary for hair. I guess we both learned a lesson.

You need a fairly good computer so it won't slow down too much if you have many aplications runing and the animation of your desktop.
It's a program that makes your favorite (any) screen saver run as your desktop all the time. You can disable the normal screen saver and run it as your desktop trough this program. It's amaizing and so relaxing to have the Plus! fish tank screen saver running in the backround on what I work. It's like I have a transparent plasma monitor, and a fish tank behind it. Just beautifull.

Here it is again. http://www.vital-desktop.com/

Those screensavers are awesome!!! *Dashes to the new PC*

I wasn't stereotyping. I just couldn't think of any reason for you to expect me to have long hair except that you thought I was some kind of really liberal type like a "hippie or something."

But now my computer has had some kind of crash where it can't find the boot hard drive. I won't be able to use it again until I find a copy of a Mac OS CD and try to fix it. No more staring at Hikaru Shinsuke while I work. :(

Is it in your funds to consider a new Mac perhaps?

P.S. Is Hikaru Shinsuke the white face on your desktop?

Not at this very moment, no. But if I manage to get a job this summer, I should be able to save up a few hundred dollars. A G3 on eBay goes for about $300. That's what I have my eyes set on. And then I think I'll get myself a copy of OS X.

And yes, that's Hikaru on my desktop. If you read my fanfics, you'll get to meet her and learn why she has a gunshot wound on her head. :D

here's me current desktop

Id post my desktop, but its just the flux screen saver from vital desktop (Very nice find Quite Mike)

I also have no icons on my desktop, so theres nothing to see exept all those perty colors.

My new desktop. with a screenshot from my newest game. :)
