Don't judge me.

Why would we judge you? Because you use Internet Explorer? Or Outlook Express? Or iTunes? Or because you have that background? Nah, don't be silly, judging is not what we I do. :)

Definitely could not deal with all those desk top icons Alex.  It would do my head in.

Might do some pruning but I use most of those programs for one purpose or another (though I don't launch them from the desktop).    There is some trash on there but I don't give enough of a fuck to do anything at the moment to change it haha.  I do more to organize my start menu due to me using it more actually.   I rarely view my desktop as I am usually in more than one program (switch via Alt+Tab).   Basically the only time I see my desktop is when I am booting up and I usually just leave my PC running.    So yeah not much use for my desktop anyways.  When I am away from my PC I just turn the monitor off (it has powersaver).   When it comes on there are programs open usually that cover the desktop.

I'm the same, my desktop is rarely viewed as I have at least 3 programs (MSN, mIRC and Firefox) open across my two screens.

GA - what do you use for the multiscreen?

I remember there was something that
allowed you to do this OVER SEPARATE
COMPUTERS.

What do you mean? It's a function of my graphics card and Windows itself (XP and Vista are both as capable, and probably 2000, Me and 98), I have two monitors plugged into my computer, and they act as one desktop stretched across the two screens.

that's what I figured. Can't remember what this thing is called, but
it allows you to run across networked machines, over multiple OS's.
Really handy, in some cases.

Because I custom made myself a desktop with pictures of my celeb crush (the guy in the foreground).  I was tempted to use at least one shot of just hi (there's a great one I found at one point) but figured this background was sort of justifable as I genuinely like the band's music.  It's just that the lead singer is also gorgeous.

As an aside, I have a friend who loves vintage trent reznor.  She just got a new laptop, and I helped her chrissen it with a custom Trent background.  She was quite pleased.
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.
