    How do you customise your PC? I have a number of Dilbert cartoons and small toys stuck all over my monitor. What about you guys? Paresh Solanki Never hit a man with glasses. Hit him with a baseball bat.

    There's no room on my desk for anything that's not work related. I've three PC over my table (and I just put a couple of PC on the shelf after I completed some test with windows CE :)), a lot of paper (I don't like to read documentation and articles on the screen), music CDs. I've only 30 squared cm to move my mouse :) The only "customization" is an advertisting cut from a magazine and attached on the wall. It's a cuban proverb: "hombre que trabaja pierde tempo precioso". -- Looking for a new screen-saver? Try FOYD: http://digilander.iol.it/FOYD

      I have a printout with my girlfriend stuck on my monitor :) I felt a disturbance in the force as if all of parksabers.com's 56 kilobits of uplink all screamed at once and then died out.

I normally download new software, wander over to our testing machine and stick it on there. If it survives a week without being uninstalled and does not trash the system I add it to the "gold" list of apps to go on my work machine. I am always shocked at how clogged and corrupted Windows gets after a good two months of installing apps, working and uninstalling. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and to be loved in return - Moulin Rouge Tim Smith wrote: Over here in the third world of humor (a.k.a.

                                If my webcam was working I'd take a picture of my desk (well, if there still is a desk under all the garbage). Not to mention you hardly can see the floor, because of all the stuff I'm studing for my final exams X|
