Easy on the Eye

Occassionally, people ask about the desktop backgrounds aka wallpapers on my machines. Thought I'd share some. Here are 3 that don't take up a lot of room, but will fit most larger screens. I like ships. Don't care if they are on water in the air or floating in space. Also like darker backgrounds. Less glare and wear on the monitor.

My great friend of many years who is like a brother to me, David Neal Jennings, sent the first and last. He has an eye for cool stuff. Please keep sending them brother! The middle one comes from a site called digitalblasphemy. Go to this site click on ENTER HERE then find the free downloads section. Chances are you might recognize some of these awesome renderings if I have worked on your PC. Check out the gallery too. The prices are minimal.

The last wallpaper is the one I use on my main workstation most of the time. Neal named it 'goin to walmart' which is humorously appropriate. On occasion you will find a Guild Wars wallpaper on this machine, but I always gravitate back to the "walmart" one. If you would like to use one of these first left click on it so it will enlarge (this is important - or you will have a small pix that blurs when expanding) then do a 'save as' (right click that mouse first then left click on 'save as') to your machine. Then right click on it again in the large form and 'set as background' or go to your desktop settings and browse to the place where you saved it..





Hope you enjoy these great works of art. They all create a sense of peace for me. Thanks brother Neal and digitalblasphemy!
