    On my Dad's computer I have the standard Windows blue background.

    Some naughty software that found it's way onto the computer (by no fault of me) seems to have disabled changing of the background, although as I don;t want to change it anyway, I couldn;t be bothered to find out what the problem was.

    On my Amiga 500+, I have one of the standard patterns, it is some sort of pattern of light blue dots.

    On my PC I have the one from Amiga.org which has the wall being knocked down by a boing ball.

    On my PowerBook G3 I have one of the standard MacOS9 backgrounds - a green background with bubbles on it.

    Not very adventurous are you Steve! Don't you ever want a fun or unique looking desktop Steve?

    I like the quick covering comment there Steve regarding your dad's computer! Does your dad have virus and firewall software running? I know you tend not to yourself and from your post it sounds like you do need some!

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    Nice picture. Personally I would rather have a Ferrari F1 car though.

    It has some Mcaffee crap that Dell installed.

    No idea what it does.

    I do have my suspictions that other people may have been using that computer for reasons that i don't want to discuss though.

    I did run some web based spyware scanner on it which I think deleted something but I'm not sure. It was recomended to me by some people in #killspyware on Wydryde.

    And my desktop is fun! Boing balls look much better than Windows.

    I have random pictures of women on the WB screen and random pictures of A Space Odyssey 2001 and 2010 within the drawers.

    I had a subscription a year or so ago with Game Wallpapers.

    Got 269 wallpapers and use a wallpaper changer for a different wallpaper on boot up.

    Interesting, but what format does it save the pictures in?

    If you take a look at the Dream17 wallpapers, you'll see the one I'm using in the top right corner. It's the one with SuperFrog!

    Wallpaper.
