# Nice pic :)

kinda relevant: whereabouts can you get an image hosted without having to have your own domain?

# If I understand you correctly
have a look at MSN Groups.
It's all explained in the FAQ

# your ISP
probably provides some suitable webspace...

# my ISP

# exactly

# MSN Groups

# well yes

# the 19" tft screens we have in our office

# Wallpaper
choice it pretty much like ringtone choice... everyone wants something original but ends up using something someone else created.

Maybe I could sell bespoke desktop wallpapers?! Nah... I'd need an imagination first.

# I make loads
but almost never used them myself... until I started work, now I have them on my desktop to help me cope with my b3ta cravings
(I helped save b3ta! JustHere, Tue 14 Oct 2003, 18:29, archived)
# I've never
felt the need to change my wallpaper since choosing one of the defaults when I bought this computer.

Is it just me, but don't all these ones with fancy pictures and whatnot just get distracting?

No offence to the pic up there, just a general opinion about desktops.

# my pet peeve with desktops
is people who have shortcuts to everything all over the place... why? they're all safe in the start menu, and neatly hidden away too!

*places hand over the small collection of b3ta-relevant shortcuts that's grown in one corner of the screen*

# Have to admit
that my desktop is probably a little more cluttered than necessary, but it has everything I need at hand quicker than using the Apple menu.

# last time I checked (a couple of weeks ago, at least)
your fluffy clouds wallpaper was still getting a fair few downloads, did you send it to b3tapaper?

# uncanny
i just linked to it ^^ up there!
yeah, i sent it to b3tanbackgrounds, but i think it's been lost in the fold of history (ie. i searched through its archives and couldn't find it :/)
although technically that could just be me not being thorough enough ;)
