Schrödinger's Cat Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 @Sonneteer_Trombonist: I don't like having people on my desktop either! But for the opposite reason, I tend to stare at them.... and it's distracting. Hahaha!@Meteora: Wow, Mirror's Edge must have really good graphics, hey? Those pics look so cool! @Cynthia: Woah, I think that desktop might prove useful to me sometime. Where did you get it? I find uncluttered, icon-free desktop with my Rainlendar works well for doing work, because then I see what I have to do, and my desktop's pretty boring so I don't linger on it too long...Does anyone else use Rainlendar? It's soooo useful for organising events and to-do lists. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
