If someone's feeling like going into the extremes they could post an actual picture of their computer...

Well, Tripod is much worse, not to mention danish subnet... Angelfire sucks donkeyears, too...
I´m actually quite satisfied using geocities pagebuilder as Kayless recommended.
If anyone is familiar with a great online sitebuilder-service, please post.

Use "Print Screen" to capture a pic of your desktop and paste it into a graphic program (like paint) Make sure to save it as a jpg. file. If not it'll fill somethin like 2mb. Then upload it to http://www.geocities.com -you'll need a yahoo ID to use that site...

You could, optionally, mail it to me. And i'll do it for ya'

I'm not sure my inbox on Ofir is big enough, though

But try it!

close all windows until the only thing you can see is your desktop. Then you press "Print Screen" (you won't be able to see if it worked. It propably did)

Then enter "Paint" find the button called "Paste" and press it. It's under one of the drag buttons on top of the window.

Then a picture of your desktop should appear in Paint. You will then press "Save As" and save it.

I forgot @frogus, you can upload directly to this page. No need to find a host

Hey! Alpha Centauri! I remember that game! Barring the numerous bugs in it, that game kicked arse!

I loved creating my own factions.

Uhhhhh...sorry for the SPAM....I got a little excited.

No one would care about my desktop. Its a tiger. And hes looking at you. Thats it.

Though thats my laptop, which only has internet connection at college, where I am not atm, and I wont bring my laptop to college till Thursday, so thats the soonest I could post it, even if I knew how. But again, its a tiger.

@Tyb: i must say the only bugs i've found was the bloody thing not letting me transcend and buggering up the sound, but it was well worth it for £5

No need to apologize. I've never created a topic you couldn't SPAM in

Faction editor was quite bugged out.

Oh, for details on my desktop, I edited my above message.

The only reason I use it, is because I'm so used to BSOD that I feel strange without a blue background.

Just recently changed mine to what it is now, and I also felt it was so bright and clear. It used to be totally dark.

Hehe, I open one for each unread thread. When the new board was made, I had every single thread on the first page up, and I posted in them, making me the first person of the new board to have his name as last poster on all threads. How cool can you get?
