If your talking about car, I'd love one, but fear I have too many already. Please don't tell me it's a 1900GL!

nice pic ross, where in Austria were you, I've been (albeit a few years ago now) and it looked just like that!

My desktop is a pic I took on a recent cycle around scotland...

cheers ... was in the dramatic countryside just south west from Salzburg (Tyrol), but was in Germany too!

The WeiÃƒÅ¸bier (wheat beer) was fantastic!

yep i was in the tyrol too, although that would be about 6-7 years ago now, still had a great time and was probably just too young then to appreciate the beer...

I currently have 3 (greedy aren't I?!)

One at home:

Two at work (on different computers):

The dog is my old lady Flossie who passed away this New Year. The horse is Maisie, who passed away last summer.
In some funny way they are still with me...

Another reason I don't tend to have background images, is all my machines are well used for lots of stuff, and all "current" things are on my desktop for easy retrieval - looking at everyone elses desktops, they all seem fairly clean, mine always looks like this:

Lol mine looks pretty bad I have just a whole mass of crud on my desktop. Especially for my mac, it ruins the whole look of it

LOL

Well if you will run bloatware like Vista!!!

I got a 2.4GHz processor and 2GB RAM, and everything runs perfectly.

That's why I use 2K (of any Windows variant)

My laptop has 2GB RAM, a 3.something GHz proc and seems decidedly sluggish when running not much at all - that's XP for you... *sigh*

Meh you should get yourselves onto Linux - I run Ubuntu on my dual processor dual-core Xeon 3ghz box with 4gig ram - its pretty nippy running Firefox and surfing

And my Vista machine at work crashes whenever the screensaver comes on - I can't understand what Micro$oft did to XP - although more bloaty than 2k at least it was semi-stable for a microsoft based platform, Vista is more buggy than a house full of bugs

I would expect firefox to run well with dual 3gig cpu's and 4gig RAM.

Does it do anything special?

What the PC? I use it for surfing/e-mails and compiling code - its probably a bit overkill but I'm not a patient man and with the low latency patches I applied to the standard kernel source it doesnt keep me waiting!
