That's not an American train, is it Rob? The gage looks a little narrow.
I'm sporting a rather fine combo of grey Windows standard/Hong Kong Phooey with a dashing double depth taskbar that I'm too embarrassed to show you.

Re: Flash Your Desktop
Here is my old desktop arrangement, I have the ipad set up as a second display using the DisplayPad app.
And here is my new arrangement:
Inhuien, that pic was taken somewhere in the UK, not sure where but it is a lovely piccie to have on the desktop at Christmas/Hogmonay time.
Now to clean out and my wallpaper folders, might even do a bit of searching for some new ones.

My local is finally starting to get some special bottling's in, though they are priced more than a bit higher than at other places, at least we have more options than Johnny Walker Red & Black.Omphalos wrote:My best froend found me (us, actually) a few bottles of Glen Rothes 1989 in San Francisco.

Re: Flash Your Desktop
Hi Rob, could you by any chance send me a copy of the German BR 44? It is awesome. I am big Steam fan and especially German engines. In the eighties I travelled to the former GDR a few times to watch them in full service. My email is simply my "username" @gmail.com ... thanks in advance.

Re: Flash Your Desktop
Like the Glen Rothes do you? I love that stuff. Another of my favorites, Highland Park 18 y.o., is really popular this year. Its hard to find now, and the cheapest I see on line is $89. I remember paying $125 a bottle ten years ago, when they made less of it, but still...lotek wrote:Have fun with the Glen Rothes; if you have spares I'll send Fed Ex

Omph,I have fond memories of the Highland Park 18, a nice dram! Longmorn 15 is a good drink and the last time I saw it in California was running in the $50 range.

Yeah, I love it — this is the first decent-sized screen I've ever owned. I love all that space for games ... I mean, all of that work area.
