For those that will ask, I use WindowsME and those icons are custom, they are not part of the WindowsME package.
Gee, Jackal I guess your proud of your country ;)
Here is mine....

I never get wallpapers off the internet. I allways make my own. Mainly because I cannot find wallpapers that I really like.
And I also like simple designs. I have like 5 dif versions of that wallpaper. Black, one with a beaver in a canoe (sounds wierd but its cool) and etc.

Yeah I usually have just a black BG, but fergie showed me the Sith code and it just looks so darn cool! :D
Nice pic ChrisC3po!
So it looks like Jackal has icq...hmmmm...;)
I always get one from
www.desktopstarships.com) they have a bunch of good ones. I would like to know how to make one like mine on my own, but i can't even come close. :D
Anyways, here's the one that i had on my laptop

Tie, do you like the color brown? It seems thats what you make your browser color on all your computers.. :)
And EWWW! You have AOL! :D
Yes, the browinsh color is much easier on your eyes i think, and it just looks better than plain white or black, IMO.
Anyways, i have cable (roadrunner) it is mainly my sister who uses AIM.

Well I usually switch my browers color according to what my Background is. I try and keep with a theme :)
ICQ is much better! I mean look, you can talk to Chrisc3po or Jackal or even YD! They all have ICQ :D
I should probably know this but.....ICQ?
Anyway, i switched the one on my laptop top often, what else was i gonna do during school?
WHAT'S ICQ?!?!?! I have no clue what it is. Don't laugh. I'm just kind of naive unless someone beats it into my head (unless its Star Wars of course).
BTW TIE, where did you get that awesome A-wing pics? :D
I got it at
www.desktopstarships.com) They have like 14 pages of pics like that. You have to sign up i think, but it is free.
Here's mine:

However, it's bound to change soon, as I switch my desktop background almost every week...
You don't need to sign up there to take their pics.
ICQ is an instant messager. :)

Every weak? I change it every 4 hours .. I use webshots. Currently I have (looks) the R2-D2 desktop from SW.com. But I could easily change it to (presses some buttons on keyboard) Battle of Yavin wallpaper ... also from SW.com ... or (buttons again) lego X-wing from lego.com or (buttons) Calvin and Hobbes ... I could go on for a while ... cause I have 104 wallpapers circulating
I like things kept simple and it shows on my desktop...

Yup, thats about as simple as a desktop gets! ;)
How to show us your desktop:
-Press the print screen button near the backspace button.
-That stores a picture of your screen into the clipboard (just like copy and past but instead of text, it's an image)
-open up a imaging program (ex: MsPain, Adobe Photoshop, PhotoPaint, etc)
-press paste (if nothing happens, you may have to create a new image with the size of your current resolution)
-save it to your hard drive
now,
To post it on this thread:
-at the bottom of the reply form, there is a section called "Attack file" Click browse (choose your file)
and then click "submit reply"
You might get a message saying the image is too big. In that case, you need to get a site to upload your image. There are numerous places for that. ex: xoom.com, imagehoster.com (or something like that. Just make a search for "free image hosting" on altavista.com
Simple? I'll say! That is one SIMPLE red X! White background, red X in middle. That's simple alright!
BTW How do you fit all your icons on that tiny thing? :D
www.webspawner.com) works very well, they let you leech, but they also only let you have 1 pic.
Thought it was going to be Star Wars related didn't ya?
Your mean Rhett! Posting attachments when you know the rest of us can't :(
Don't worry, I'll only use it when I'm to tired/lazy to bother with uploading something myself. :D
Comon! There's got to be more! I wonder what Gary and the rest of LEC have as a wallpaper.
Probably nothing really cool or inventive. My dad is a programmer and he just has a plain grey backgtound.
That seems to be a common trait among programmers. I wonder why. :confused:
Well, there's that and that there also highly amused by tropical fish screensavers. :D
Jackal, it says under my thing that I "may not post attachments." Is it honorary for one million post, or is it a mod thing or what?
BTW I don't know html so anything that requires that is not available for me to use.
He can post attachments coz he is a mod, us lowlifes can't :D
We can still get free webspace. It is really easy, just go here and sign up, then folllow the directions
www.webspawner.com)
Oh. I didn't know you guys couldn't add an attachment file. Come to think of it, it does make sence that you "low lifes" can't upload anything to the server or some will upload allmost anything and waste the space.

OK I'm sorry about my lack of a brain... I linked to my hard drive...:eek: Anyway here it is :
http://galaxycenter.netfirms.com/desktop2.jpg)
Hehehe...Cillo, did you try to show as little as your desktop, as possible? :D
Very creative Chillo, really :D
Why don't you have many icons either? :confused:

Could you please reformulate this ? I really don't understand whan you mean...:(

As I said, I like simplicity and if I have more icons, this means less free RAM... I have 128 Mb RAM and 256 soon but that does not matter, the less RAM used, the less bugs in RA2...
Seriously it's just that I'm crazy, it's an obsession I have, ask Sherack... I use 4 Gb of my 20 Gb hard drive and I don't keep any MP3 file because it wastes my hard drive space.
OCD? j/k
Anyways, do you play RA2 alot, that is my favorite rts game to date.

It's damn true!! He even deleted small text files of about 3k to save space!! Hell, just today, he told me that he disabled the "login automatically" option of this board so that the cookie won't waste his space :eek:
His little brother's favourite hobby is to waste space with useless demos, so that enrages him :D
Yep, your definately OCD :D My friend is too, he can't stand for anything to be out of order or not in it's place on his computer.

I played a LOT but now I've played so much that I play only like 2 games a day. BTW If you wanna play with me my WOL account is ckwiley.
But what's OCD ? Could it be something like Obsessive Compusive Disease ? I'm sorry I only had about 7 years to learn english in a french speaking environment so I don't know this kinda thing.
Hell, just today, he told me that he disabled the "login automatically" option of this board so that the cookie won't waste his space
I was joking about the space cookies use but I DO delete them... because... oh no... could it be ?... AAAHHHHHHH !!
OCD- Obessive Compulsion Disorder.
I was really just joking. My friend says that i have ADD (attention deficet disorder) so i tell him he has OCD. :D
Actually it's Obsessive compulsive disorder. ;)
And Cillo, that's a little......extreme, to say the least. :D
I wouldn't want to appear worse than I really am.
I get rid of my cookies because if I wait too much I'm gonna end up with 1000 of them. I don't use much of my hard drive space because I already had an almost full hard drive and it slows down the computer dramatically. I don't keep any useless files like MP3s for the same reason. I just want to feel that my computer is clean and in order.

You can have a clean computer without having to delete "useless" files (MP3s are NOT useless :) ), just create additional directories to store them.
Aww, why do I keep on telling him that... he'll never listen ;)
You could compress your hard drive if you are really that worried about it, or have you already done that?

ARE YOU CRAZY ?!
I would decrease the performance !
I know it's not one more Gb on 20 that's gonna make a diffrence... Sherack's ONCE AGAIN exaggerating, he's well-known for that.
I'm just in the line of thought that anything useless should not be kept.
Anyway we talked about this enough. This thread was originally meant to post your desktop so I'll let the others post theirs... unless we already destroyed this thread... I'm sorry TheJackal...
I know this isn't related to the rest of my post, neither to this forum but Tie Guy, you said that RA2 was your favorite RTS. Are you interested in playing against Master Cillo ? Everyone on WOL are either rushers or newbies... I need an opponent of quality !
