This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Backgrounds

How do you decide what to put on your pc background?
Adn, I've worked on a pc once which had its bg changed every couple of minutes, anyone know where I can get a prog that does this?
And then also how often do you change your bg?

there are many many programmes that change backgrounds at regular intervals, MS PLus! being one, which would rotate d'top themes and bgs. Myself I use StyleXP although i rarely change my background from my OSX Panther Graphite theme.

what do you mean "how do you decide?" that's like asking how you choose what colour socks to wear or what to have for tea; it's purely a matter of preference. I like very clean, uncluttered dtops with minimal icons and very simple bgs - in this case grey bg with a metal Apple "apple" in the middle.

I use flower shots, places, like a snow covered tree scene, just about anything will do. I prefer the manuel changing rather than automatic ones, and style/windowblinds type are more of a hassle and have spyware. Plus, like Taw said is good too.

Abstract backgrounds for me, or planetary ones, or a combination of them

For the past few months I've put up shots of FL around the place. Usually it's whatever looks nice until I'm bored with it.

People have it all wrong these days, instead of discriminating and hating others for being black or ugly, we should practise fairness and hate every living thing equally.

I don't change by background very often, I just choose from what Windows XP can offer or I just take something off the web.
