Morning all

I'm bored of my desktop at work - Anyone got any good ones? Perhaps some of Foxc and Bint with plenty of limes and string?

(yes i did put this in the CC in anticipation of many NSFW pics)

Kind Regards!

    Mines a glass desktop....what's yours wood or glass...if glass you can decorate it "like vajazzling your desktop" use coloured drawing pins, paperclips etc.

    Oh just realised your talking about PC's right...

    It is the Vallee Blanche... early in the season before they roped it up and cut a track to walk down. It is a pretty steep face. Sam managed to drop a ski pole as he put his camera away - it slid out of sight and fell about 1,500m! Here's the view looking up - courtesy of Wikipedia.

    Awesome place, I love Chamonix 8) . The view alone make it worthwhile and the skiing is top notch. I've not done the Vallee Blanche yet but have looked down the knife edge ridge that goes down from the Aiguille du Midi to the start of the Vallee Blanche run - if you fall on that bit, you will die!

    People have skied down that North face :shock:

    Typical mac mong.
    It's never "I'll check it on my computer", or "I'll email you when I'm sat by my laptop", is it?
    No, it's "hang on, I'll just finish up here before switching off my 17" MacBook pro, before walking to the Audi whilst listening to my iPod, then I'll drive the Audi, A4, home to my studio apartment. When I get there, I'll email you from my 27" iMac with 4 gigs of RAM, whilst listening to iTunes.

    Well, I was never going to get 2560x1440 on a 13" screen now!

    Corrections: No Audi, my MacBook [Pro] is only 13" and my iMac has 16GB RAM. Then again my Windoze box has 32GB RAM, so no one upmanship from the Jobsian perspective...

    Plus I've used Mac for almost 25 years, ironically ten years ago most iPod owners didn't even know that the damned company made computers
