That's great!
Now we just have to re-equip Moonbear's kitty with a raygun in place of the sniper rifle and insert it. It's a new movie in the offing: "Fur Wars".

I use an SDSS image of M51, since interacting galaxies of that type are my research specialty.

I almost never see my background; either PF, Google, or Adventure Quest (or sometimes all of them) is always up and running full screen. I just open new windows over top of them to access other functions. It is, however, the pretty purplish color spray (sort of like a nebula crossed with the Northern Lights) that comes with Tiger. My screen-saver is also a Tiger inclusion: shifting space scenes.

I've had the same background for several months; I don't remember when I changed it to the current one, but I couldn't even tell you what it is without minimizing.
It's one of the default Windows pictures of an up close picture of a leaf.

Haha, love it!
I'm a bit moody about it, I usually photoshop the photo, and add a number of lines of whatever I find interesting. Sometimes I use some of Andre's shots. But currently, I have the blue stones that comes with Vista.
Love yours too Lisa, so creative.

Here's what I currently use:
I also like some of the images found on hubblesite.org or clever/funny images that aren't blurry when I set them as desktop backgrounds.
