Messy desktop awards

[Wazzerphuk]

Nothing wrong with being 15 - I have a couple of very good friends who are fifteen. The difference is you are equal to stupid and VERY immature. And it gets very very tedious.

 

[Louster]

Calling someone 'stupid and very immature,' whether or not its true, isn't terribly mature in itself. Relax, get over it. It's no big deal. Flames are silly. And this is supposed to be a topic about messy desktops, dammit.


My desktop used to be messy. Then I moved house. I still haven't built it back up to its former, uh, glory.
I do have a rather large pyramid-thing made of empty coke cans a little way to the side of my desk, however.

put up a pic of it then
I used to have a crate with 144 empty twodogs bottles in it, does that count

 

[Louster]

I would be happy to oblige. Is the digital camera you're going to send me for free packed and ready to be delivered yet?

 

[Testin da Cable]

lol I only just managed to borrow one to do my own picture taking hehe

Cool wallpaper on that right-hand machine, bids.

An as extention to this topic can anyone post links to the most impressive desktop wallpapers?

I'm not a fan of them myself (paranoia over resources used on my old P166, 16MB machine) but if there's a truly pant-wetting one then I might reconsider.

To start the ball rolling (if anyone cares) I've found slightly groovy ones here and here.

/edit Oh! And my own Hitch-Hikers inspired one here

 

[Testin da Cable]

eek is that an LCD I see?
swap you my mouldy bread collection for it
go on

 

[bids]

Yeah - that m/c is running XP Beta 2 - if you want the wallpaper I'll e-mail it to you - it's well cool.

TDC - might replace my big screen for an LCD, although peeps are tellin' me games play crap on 'em - can't really test the Linux LCD as it's only a real cheapo (>£190).

And no, I 'aint swapping it - I already have a mouldy bread collection - though probably not as large as yours

Anything else on offer ?

Where did you nick the Compaq mouse from Bids - dont see any other compaq hardware lying about.

 

[bids]

Why from work - where else ?

 

[old.Bl4sT]

There we are, my lovely desk space as of 2 weeks ago. It's now newly cleaned and has a box of mini heroes on the top shelf next to my framed sound blaster cd!!!!

Enjoy!

Am I the only person here content with having just one PC in his house?

 

[old.Mighty Midget]

Jesus how much do u fuck@s spend on PC gear?

Anyone know the ratio of people with multiple PCs with girlfriends to those without?


Oh yeah, you can ban me cos I really don't give a flying.

 

[Wij]

Oh man, that would be cool

Yes.

You are living in SIN my son. Run out and find an old P166 and install Linux or FreeBSD on it or suffer through 1,000,000 games of "Noah's Ark"

 

[old.logic7]

Mighty Midget - I'm married. One of my 6 pc's is being used by my wife (K6-2 450, 128MB ram, 6GB HD, SBLive, Stealth III S540) and another by my oldest daughter.

In my original post note "Home Office" - my wife likes the money I make as a network chappy - hence all the kit (although I do get the comments about the games kit )

Nothing wrong in putting old kit to good use

 

[Summo]

I have one main PC (Win2K, AMD 900MHz, GeForce2MX, 256MB blah blah blah), one shitty laptop (Win98SE - can't run WinMe) and one long-term girlfriend.

In my glory days I had two PCs and two laptops, Win98SE, WinMe beta, WinNT Server (for mah MCSE), Win2K beta and no girlfriend.

I think there is a link.

I also like Microsoft. They pay me money. Linux doesn't.

 

[bids]

Linux does if you know how to use it

 

[Wij]

beat up old ladies with the manual ?

 

[Summo]

Yeah. They're all Mac users.

 

[DAN200]

I have 2 pcs, one shitty one (p200, 32mb RAM, Win95 and no gfx card) and one decent one (AMD Duron 850, 128mb RAM, WindowsME and Geforce2 MX).

 

[old.logic7]

naw, bash Mac Zealots across the head with 'em.

 

[DAN200]

apparently the iMAC was designed by a 12 year old...

You got that off room 101 with Stephen Fry
