Desktop Screenshots

I thought I would start one of those desktop screenshot threads here, they always seem to be a good bit of fun on every other board that I've been on.

And for the 56k'ers, I'll just post mine as a link:

my desktop

I guess I'm a Mac User at heart.

Yeah, or a CG Model of one, I got my wallpaper from this guy's website http://www.nuckel.net/3ds/, he has some really impressive stuff.

Strange:

I just got done reading the TV tome goofs for Startrek TNG, and before that I'd been posting on IMDBs back to the future forums. Then you link me to a website with both CG DeLoreans and CG Enterprises.

I think I've had a bit of a scifi overload today.

how does one take screenshots of his desktop?

Look above the 'insert, home page up, delete, end, page down keys, and you shoud see a set of three. Press the left key, it should say 'print screen' and it will save it in your clip board.

Of course, if you have a Mac or Linux, then I have no idea what to do.

there you go
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

I'll post a screenshot later, but I wanted to say I was seriously thinking about buying one of those a couple months ago Sessler.

A 1983 DMC-12 was sitting on a lot (a Delorean lot...owned by a relative of the designer) here in Cleveland.

It may still be there, but I haven't see it for a while, and I no longer have the money for it (assuming I would have had enough in the first place).

You would have to post your photo to some image server on the web. This isn't a Mac issue. Even PC users will need some place to post theirs. To capture a screenshot on a Mac, use Apple + Shift + 3. Should save an image of your desktop right on your desktop as a pdf file. Take it to Photoshop or some other image editor and resave as a jpg file. Then upload to some server somewhere and post the link here.

As for my desktop, I have the settings on my Mac configured to cycle through a different desktop each time it is either awakened from sleep mode or each time I reboot in the morning. Most of my desktops are 3D shots taken from MeCompany. Cool site that is responsible for some of the artwork for Bjork's albums.

I used Image Shack for my uploads.

Or you could set up an account at Z-Cult FM to upload images.

Well, its not really spoiling anything I don't think. It's just two people battling it out. At any rate, just to be on the safe side from now on, I edited my post to give people a warning. Sorry about that.

I tried Z Cult, but it messed my picture up. Linking it to the file gave me the photo's HTML and posting it didn't work.

I just post photos on my own website. So I really have no idea what would make a good photo repository site. I tried some of them some years past and none worked that well.

This is my desktop on my dad's computer.


The image is the same as the one on my elfwood page called The Orbital Station.
