Can't get mine up, but I have Leopard, and a picture of the Earth from space (one of the ones in the System Preferences). Title: Re: Desktops Post by: TerminalJunkie on June 08, 2008, 19:41:30 I have a dual monitor setup, one screen in landscape the other in portrait mode:

The one that looks like a train is RailPlanner. Title: Re: Desktops Post by: Btline on June 08, 2008, 19:42:38 PS: What is office 08 like. I am thinking of getting it, but not sure!
PPS: Good shot of a Wessex Electric. Title: Re: Desktops Post by: Btline on June 08, 2008, 19:43:08 Yes, but how do you get it uploaded?

And how dare you call my Wessex Electric a Desiro!!!! ;D ;D Office 08 isn't too bad, better than Office 07 for Windows definately. Good pics, TerminalJunkie. Title: Re: Desktops Post by: Btline on June 08, 2008, 19:48:20 When did I do that? ??? ;D

Not widgets, but GADGETS! And there has been an unprecedented number of people "downdating" to XP! Title: Re: Desktops Post by: devon_metro on June 08, 2008, 20:04:45 Works a storm on my laptop!
Title: Re: Desktops Post by: swlines on June 08, 2008, 20:06:34 A storm as bad as this?

One of my many personal photos of the Andees ;) Title: Re: Desktops Post by: TerminalJunkie on October 12, 2008, 00:20:50 I have a dual monitor setup, one screen in landscape the other in portrait mode: Slight change now: (http://ndrailusers.wikispaces.com/space/showimage/desktop2.jpg) The left-hand screen is a 19" at 1280x1024, the one on the right is a 28" at 1900x1200. How I ever coped with that tiny 17" monitor...

Title: Re: Desktops Post by: Zoe on January 12, 2009, 15:41:33 I don't know why so many people have cluttered desktops:
(http://craig.landsraad.co.uk/desktop.jpg) Title: Re: Desktops Post by: Phil on January 12, 2009, 17:34:14 You want to download TweakUI (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx), Zoe mate - you can remove that annoying recycle bin you've got cluttering the place up then...
Title: Re: Desktops Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on January 12, 2009, 18:12:27 im having problems gettin the image up, but i agree clutter is bad

Thanks for that - it has indeed been annoying me for ever!! ;D Title: Re: Desktops Post by: TerminalJunkie on January 12, 2009, 21:14:47 Then right-click on the Taskbar, select 'Toolbars' and untick 'Language Bar': that'll get rid of the 'EN' icon.
Title: Re: Desktops Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on January 12, 2009, 21:24:59 go into safe mode and that will be very basic :P
just not with vista, its like opening up a rift into the medusa cascade.... the stars start to disapear!! KINDA SCARY! Title: Re: Desktops Post by: Btline on January 12, 2009, 21:25:33 Why not remove the start button while you're at it! ;)
Title: Re: Desktops Post by: Phil on January 13, 2009, 08:21:49 It's actually not all that difficult to remove the start button.
Here's my PC desktop from a while ago - intentionally "skinned" to look and act like a Mac (don't ask why - it was as a result of a bet with a mate!) (http://www.terrascope.co.uk/images/macpcsm.jpg) If anyone's daft enough to want to try this at home, * StyleXP or WindowBlinds (skins the Graphical User Interface of your operating system) http://www.tgtsoft.com/prod_sxp.php * ObjectBar (the white Finder bar on the top of Macs; has File, Edit, View, etc. on it.) http://www.stardock.com/products/objectbar/ * ObjectDock (The dock on the bottom of a Mac that contains icons and shortcuts to programs, not shown in the example above but as a matter of fact I still use this one to this day) http://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/ Title: Re: Desktops Post by: Zoe on January 13, 2009, 20:08:27 Thanks Phil, I did use TweakUI back in 1998 on Windows 95 but did not know there was a version for Windows XP.
Title: Re: Desktops Post by: Btline on January 13, 2009, 21:08:14 Just get a mac! ;)
I switched and would never swich back.... Ahhh - no pestering messages about updates to be installed, no shields which say "your computer may be at risk", no paperclips, cats, dogs etc which ask you "if you are writing a letter" (which is really encouraging since in proper English it should be "whether you are writing a letter"!). And best of all - NO VISTA! ;D Title: Re: Desktops Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on January 13, 2009, 21:11:46 Just get a mac! ;) I switched and would never swich back....

And best of all - NO VISTA! ;D i must be the only person in the world that likes vista.... even if it is a mac clone Title: Re: Desktops Post by: devon_metro on January 13, 2009, 21:49:51 Just get a mac! ;) I switched and would never swich back....

And best of all - NO VISTA! ;D I can't justify spending ^1500 on a laptop!!!! Even if I had a mac I'd still need windows! Nothing wrong with vista for me. It's safe and does the job. Title: Re: Desktops Post by: Btline on January 13, 2009, 22:05:02 You don't need to spend ^1500!
Besides, that amount would still be worth it. Faster, safer, easier to use...... And as relex said - Vista is a (poor) clone of Mac OSX. If you like Vista, you'll LOVE Mac! PS: You can run Windows apps on a Mac with parallels or bootcamp. Title: Re: Desktops Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on January 13, 2009, 23:34:39 You don't need to spend ^1500!

PS: You can run Windows apps on a Mac with parallels or bootcamp. its not easy but you cn even run osx on a windows machine.... like i said not easy but if you are good with computers and have the time to play around it can be done, that way best of both worlds, the editing magnificence of a mac along with the versatility of a pc... just chose which os you want to use when you boot up not ideal but it works long and short if you have money buy a mac if you have a decent pc get vista if you have an old pc and no money stick with xp!
