Mine changes but here is the latest from the Big House in 2002:

All my systems have basically the same wallpaper, with the machine name at the top, and the operating system at the bottom, with some other information, like the ip number... But I have a lot of computers at work and at home... When I am remoting from one to the other, I sometimes forget which one I am attached to, so having the machine name on the wallpaper is very helpful.

However, the wallpaper is mostly blue in color, but still very colorful, and artistic.

Cool pic of the Tour De Lance. One of the local places we go to lunch has some poster size pics of old tours, showing Mercks, Anquintiel, Bobet, and others who never had a sag wagon, spare wheels or the like. These guys had to carry their own spares. Again, nice job on the pic.

I remember seeing some photos like that. Didn't they "figure-8" those sew-ups across their shoulders? Ah the good old days...when you could smoke, drink, etc. and not worry about drug testing, etc.:2:

We must be looking at the same pics. They did have the sew ups around their shoulders, and also smoking. I remember doing a Century ride some years ago, and at one of the food stops I saw a couple ride up on a custom built tandem. They were both smoking cigars. So much for the clean outdoors and healthy living. :2:

LOL that reminds me of something that happened at costco last time I went. I was walking around pushing my mega cart and passed up this woman who had in her cart a box of that new chocolate viacin or other, vitamin supplement. Then right NEXT to it I saw a pack of Marlboro's lights. LOL

This is my desktop with the YzDock Application. It is very cool, and i have gotten rid of all my icons from my desktop. When I dont want the icons from the dock app... it just hides automatically... i love it! i have also put acuramdx.org as one of my icons... it links directly to the site! This pic does not do my desktop justice! how about upping the upload max?

Is that a Mac OS X desktop or a Win XP desktop?! I see elements of both! Just curious. Looks cool, BTW!
BLACK-BLING-MDX
Windows XP :D... yeah i love it. if anyone gets YzDock and needs some icons, or wants the icons that I have, just let me know and I will:
A. Post them on my website.
B. Email them out...

Also, if anyone is using StyleXP, I am using the Windows Longhorn Plex theme on www.themexp.org... go there to customize your windows desktop and download stylexp... it's awesome! A cool thing about the docking station is that it magnifies whatever icon ur cursor goes over, and then the icon starts to bounce up and down after you click on it... i love it!

BLACK-BLING-MDX
yep! it is supposed to emulate the dock on Mac OS X. I love MACS! I used to have one... a 7100/66 power pc... damn old... lol... but i loved it and i still do! but... i also love my pc... maybe i will buy a mac someday...
Wazowski
Yeah, I love the Mac, too. They've come a long way since your 7100/66 power pc . . . you should give the new G4s a try with the latest OS. You'll be even more impressed. :cool: (Actually, the Mac is on my wife's desk and the PC is on my desk. Kind of like my wife drives the Lexus and I drive the MDX.)
BLACK-BLING-MDX
and of course the MDX is nicer right? RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT? :P! Later... let's see your desktop!
Wazowski
My desktops/wallpapers are boring--just the defaults! :rolleyes:
Yes, I like the MDX for me, but my wife's Lexus is perfect for her! ;)

I'd have some of my old cars, but I'd start missing them and wishing I hadn't sold them. At least I can miss my son while I'm at work and look forward to seeing him--and he doesn't rust or need new chrome.

Earlier this summer, he's showing off the lupines we transplanted from Maine last year.

Yes, a good movie, and almost historically accurate.
The only inaccuracies I could detect were:
1. Wallace never had a fling with the French Princess;
2. Bruce never lined up with Longshanks at Falkirk, he just didn't show up at all;
3. Can't verify if Edward really threw the guy from the Tower. That idea came from Clan Macrae, who used to throw prisoners out of the tower at their castle, (Eilean Donan) on Loch Alsh; and
4. The Battle of Stirling (Bridge) was actually fought in much narrower confines.
I have been partial to Wallace in history since I was a wee lad. His left hand is in a wall which surrounds a castle next to the village where I grew up.

I would post a pic of his monument but I haven't figured out how to resize pics on my new computer which has Windows XP.

Hi All:

___ I have really enjoyed following this thread as it shows a bit of personality without actually meeting the members so to speak … It is also rather educational!

___When I fire up the HTPC for a movie, this is the DT I boot into. No DT icons of any kind with the entire Task Bar hidden from view. When I boot it up for general Internet and Gaming use, the std. Windows XP DT appears with no icons other than the recycle bin. The Windows ME and Windows 2000 boot DT’s are std. clean Windows DT’s as well.

___Good Luck

Hi Black-Bling-MDX:

___Cool and I can’t wait to upgrade my own but it looks like late 04 or early 05 :( Just for the fact it’s like 170 MB just to update XP Pro to the latest and greatest from scratch nowadays.

Bling, you have Windows/ Longhorn? Talk about "bleeding edge" How do you like it?

BLACK-BLING-MDX
i have longhorn, an alpha version, it worked very well, but that pic right there is a pic of my windows xp boot, i just ran style xp to make it look like longhorn and i obtained a background with longhorn on it. If anyone wants that I can zip it and email... LL i'm gonna email you the files. All you do is drag and drop your programs into the lil bar thing and voila!

This is in Armenia - first Christian country in the world. People used to live in these caves until 1950s. There was electricity, running water, other communications in these caves.

The reason why - for centuries neighboring countries - Turkey, Iran, Arab countries have been invading Armenia - and only this village was never invaded - since invaders could not go through it and no houses to burn...

Of course, now nobody lives in caves and most of neighboring countries - such as Iran and Georgia are friends.
