as you can see, all of mine are work safe, and generally have a plant theme.

it's because i like plants. they smell clean, and nice, and don't try to like you like a goddamn dog.

Nothing, to the best of my knowledge, I got it off deviantArt. It's kind of like the graphics you see on sci-fi shows...looks good, seems like it might mean something, but was designed just for show.

None. And I have to change my desktop when I'm at varsity. You get disapproving stares from the feminazis and hetero-haters.

That's not much actually, I pruned a lot of my babe pics. I didn't realize you had a mac. Here's my current dashboard.

edit: changed to more Striker Friendly screenie

Why doesn't the blasted "new attachment" work properly?

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

ag: yep, i have three computers, personal (1 mac, two pc), two more that are loaned to others (both pc), and then the work computer.

The mac is a G4 cube, which i got from a magic dumpster. As far as its utility... it's kinda underpowered, but it does fine for being the video/audio playback terminal i have it as.

What's the big deal about OS X anyway? I mean, it looks good, and it certainly looks better than most Windows desktops shown here. But you can easily make XP look as good, if not better. Just look at St Leo's desktop's. Grab a nice wallpaper, auto-hide the taskbar, and maybe change your desktop icons, that's all.
