Arg!!! I hate my desktop's "image". It is so boring. That, and I can't find anything to put as my desktop. I need a good one. Anybody have any sites to get some free pictures for desktops?
What is on your desktop?

I would highly recommend www.navy.mil
Very nice pictures that are free to use. I've got a sweet photo of an EA-6B on my desk top right now. I switch every week or two.
If you like military hardware it is a good site. "Around the fleet" shows you the latest photos and then there are categories like aircraft, weapons (mostly missiles), surface ships, carriers, etc.
Thanks. I'll take a look at it. I need action!

That may be the record for the shortest attention span reply on the board yet.
This is on my notebook desktop right now:
Ah!!! Now I have to many backrounds. All...are...too...good. Must...choose!!!
Thanks, guys. These are really great. I'll have a lineup for my desktop. Thanks again!
Static, did you make that one yourself?
actually i don't have a BKG at the moment, but my last was Spike from Cowoy Bebop, proviously Vash the Stampede from Trigun, the Trigun one was better...
Post them, no-one.
i only have the Cowboy bebop one at the moment, go here to find a bunch of aime backgrounds,
umm... actully im not sure i should post the links... theirs some how should i say "racy" stuff, nothing "really bad" just some peoples parents might not like my posting scantly clad anime women, eeheheh...
> go here to find a bunch of aime backgrounds
Go where???
read below that... i don't think i should post it, you know kermi3 and all... he might not agree with such a thing on his board...
Oh, okay. Better off not posting.
Cannot both of you perhaps arrange an email transfer of the files?
Nah, I don't really want to see them if they are crude. It is not in my religion.
not 'All' of them are "crude" just enough to cause trouble...
Well, then only posts the ones that aren't even a hint of crudeness.
there far to big unless you want them 640x480...
Sure, that'll be fine. Give a description before you go through all that trouble to post them.
the last two i had arn't 'crude' ones of Spike from Cowboy Bebop, and os of Vash the Stampede from Trigun...
Who are these people?
you don't watch much anime, do you?
that question can't really be answered in a short amount of writing...
Oh, then just post the pictures if they're not bad.
well ok heres one...
and the other,
BTW the first is Vash
this one is Spike, im not gonna post any Faye...
So, I guess these characters are from a show? What channel? What time?
well Trigun doesn't show that i know of,
Cowboy Bebop, Cartoon Network 12:00am and 12:30am eastern sunday and thursday, on the Adult-Swim.
be warned it is a bit "crude" in places.
and you've missed the first 10 Episodes they should rerun pretty soon though since there are only 26 if i remember correctly.
Here it is for you....the ULTIMATE Desktop Bkgrnd....
www.webshots.com
There that does it enough said! Thousands of pictures from proffessionals and just other users, changes the background for you automatically between your own custom set of pics at a regular interval...end of story!
:)
I tried using webshots once. It really stuffed up my computer. I don't recommend it. If you are a LOTR fan try http://www.ringzone.com - som pretty neat artwork in the gallery section.
sorry that link is wrong. try here:

Thanks all. I like the LOTR ones.
Hey, Evenflow. The more that I look at the Lord of the Rings pictures, the greater they become. I'm going to make an archive on my harddrive and then get all of these pics. These are great!
What exactly is Lord of the Rings? A series of books, or something? Looks really interesting. I would like to get into it.
If you like computer generated art check out these sights all sorts of great computer created art
www.digitalblasphemy.com - not alot of images for free but very high quality
www.razorart.com
www.deviantart.com
all of them got some great stuff, too many great wallpapers actually it was horrible trying to choose just one
http://art.macro-inter.net and http://psy.macro-inter.net/backgrounds
that's my friend's site, he does great 3D artwork :)
If it's artwork you want, go to www.seegmiller-art.com.
He's a the lead artist for Saffire (game company),
here in Utah. He is, by far, the best artist I
have ever seen.
>>What exactly is Lord of the Rings? A series of books, or something? Looks really interesting. I would like to get into it.
The Lord of the Rings is one story, broken down into a series of six books, divided in three parts (The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King). They were all written by JRR Tolkein, and published in 1954. However you may want to read The Hobbit first.
Try this link for more info about Tolkein and his books.

You may recognise where I got my avatar from Garfield :)
My backgrounds:

Yup! I believe that picture is next on line for my desktop. I love these pictures!
:) good to see.
I think you can buy some of John Howe's books which contain those pictures and more of the LOTR.
If you go to www.lordoftherings.net you can find out more info about the upcoming movies, and get some pretty cool screen savers as well.
Thanks Evenflow. I'm going to get my comp souped up to Lord of the Rings standards. Thanks again.
Now that you have got a new desktop lets confuse the H#ll out of everyone.
[list=1][*]Close all programs [*]Scater Icons[*]Press Print Screen[*]Open Paint Paste and save[*]Set saved Item as desktop[*]Wash, Rince, and repeat[/list=1]
What??? I don't understand.
Do you understand anything?
Just try it.
Why? I'm kinda scared.
You could always reverse it if you want to.

Take a Look at the atachment only half those Icons work, the other half are part of the wall paper.
Okay, use this. This is one of the greatest
paintings (digital) I've ever seen. It was done
by that Seegmiller guy (see my earlier post)...
Now, the people in this picture are nude, but it
doesn't show any, um, unmentionables... I don't
know how easily you people get offended, so if
you're offended by this picture--I'm sorry for
posting the link.
I live in Utah. Here, everybody gets offended by
everything
Here's the link:..

nice link
Um...I'm still scared. I don't think I'll do that. The things I put my computer through...

It's just a prank Garfield. It will make your background image the current image of the desktop. If you then hide the taskbar, it will appear as though Windows isn't working properly when you click on the taskbar. I used to do it at college all the time, but leave actual program windows open :). Very very funny. Bummer that it can't be done now as all the computers require you to log in, and any desktop changes you make won't be saved (they boot to a default background).
Okay, I guess I'll try it.
