I just got to thinking out of pure boredom, what is your current desktop background? Is it a bike, a piccy of wife and kids? or what me and delusionz did to his new vista and played video porn on a loop in the background.
Mines whitetrash smoking it up at paeroa as of yesterday, prior to that a pic of the britten.

Currently it's a pic of my bike. My PC is in the lounge so it makes sense to have a desktop pic.

Mine aren't very exciting on my work machine. I can't have anything too offensive because I often use my computer with a client beside me. Monitor one has a collage of water-related pictures I took on holiday in the South Island. Monitor two has a pisstake on Sesame Street.

Not really. An EMO would have cried at you for singling them out as having a substandard desktop image or some such.

Mine rotates between when I'm at work and at home (I do love some of these applications/scripts I've hacked away at on my Mac! :D) - one is a black texture with the words "Do your work. Don't be stupid" in white letters in the middle, and for home, I have various pictures of 848's.

My mate used to go on msn from school about 3 years back....
would be chattng then if a teacher came he would minimize and drop the real start bar down....
then his desktop was a screenshot of word open with some stuff written with a startbar that said all the programs he was meant to be using.
then once teacher left, pull the real start bar up and keep chatting.
if was bloodey brilliant LOL

Something like that... I have't actually taken a shot of the monitor... with the background tho... and would need to find the right angle and get the lighting etc...
I could do a quick shot tho... but the lighting would be wrong...
