Very nice.

Here's mine. Thought it'd make for a decent desktop.

I had to change mine as I had some virus or something and the instuctions to remove it didn't work completely.  So I wiped it out and installed Ubuntu Linux!  I liked Ubuntu ok, but some of my favorite proggys arn't availible as a Linux version and didn't run well under Wine on Ubuntu, so I reformated the drive and re-installed WinXP.

@WillyP ... I noticed the OpenOffice 3.2 icon ...   You might try checking out IBM Lotus Symphony.  Does the same file formats as OpenOfiice, just as free, plus it has a nice interface to it (some think a nicer and more intuitive interface than OpenOffice).  Doesn't have the database program tho.

I didn't encounter any bugs.  I installed some Windows programs under Wine, but they did not run well.

Thanks, I'll take a look at the website, but I'm good with OO and I don't use it a lot.

My desktop has been the same since... Well, I dunno..

I guess it isnt the *same* since I now have a new computer, but with the same desktop picture.

Desktop changes are very, very rare for me.

However, I did install a card table as an extra desk so now I have more desk space.

Screenshot of my Windows desktop. I might toss a picture of my Ubuntu 10.04 partition soon, as well. I like keeping a clean desktop, but it's kinda sad how academic it's gotten. The only game on my computer right now is Unreal Tournament 2004, and only for the occasional bored-at-work skirmish with the other IT guys (but most of the time I'm doing homework).

I, for one, hope this is much, much more than a reconnaissance mission.

I change my work desktop pretty often (but change my home systems rarely) ... and today I changed a work system to this:

Nice picture, TP, I can just barely see a mine reactor blowing up in the distance.  ;)
