In those olden days we liked sharing things with each other, including screen shots of our desk tops. Wallpaper, icons, cursors, screen savers -- everything served to tell the world who we were. It was all new, and we had fun.
It has been ages since I sent someone a screen shot of my desktop, so I thought I'd show it to you (if I sent this to someone in an email they'd think I'd finally gone off my rocker). If you have a blog and want to play, post your own screen shot and I'll come look. Don't know how to make a screen shot? Click here for a quick and easy little tutorial.

Highly stylish screen! :-)
Thank you for the link! I am one of those who never bothered to make a screenshot. Thinking of it, I have to clean up my room, er, screen. ;-)
I remember those days! I sort of liked them.
Thanks for your interview with willow from Willow Manor. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Greetings from London.
So tidy! I'll go do mine and you can see that, even after I've cleaned things up a bit, it's still cluttered. The difference between us! LOL
I also miss the old mIRC chats, where everyone had their own signature wav.
My desktop looks almost identical to yours. Except for the facebook widget (facebook? really?), and I have a few more shortcuts (MS Office products, QuickBooks, etc...).
I like to keep it simple.
I do too, and what I have on my desktop I use every day. Anything else can stay in the Start Menu. And I keep my HD as sleek and streamlined as possible.
I was one of those clean desk nerds when I worked in the corporate world, so I shouldn't wonder.
Just taking a peek at your status readings over on the right side:
So glad you're better! I can get the Sunny D and the new ear buds, but I'm afraid that the new "schnozz" is out of the realm of my capabilites. After we're rich you might consult with a plastic surgeon. :P ILD!!!
I remember going even further, changing the boot up and shut down screen, mouse cursors and everything, before there was a theme manager or built into the OS.
The first time I took a screenshot of someone's system, set it as the screen saver and disabled the mouse click to cancel the screen saver was a blast!
Lynette: Sunny D's good enough. Even the earbuds can wait. I can breathe!
Fyrebaugh: Oh, that's funny! Do you remember all those lottle desktop applications like "Tiny E"? Also, the melting desktop screensaver? Fun stuff.
For some reason, your blog list doesn't seem to be updating when I post to my blog. I've added my desktop picture. :-)
Hi!
See I de-lurked!
All best wishes.
I bet I have archives of little applications that would scare your little socks off!
I used to be able to program modems in DOS... I could tell the difference between a 14.4 and a 28.8 modem from the connection noises they make. 52K modems were easier, they had bong sounds and such, but the 14.4 and 28.8 were much closer in sounds.
P.S. Color Picker is still one of my favorite "recent" apps.

And yes I've updated my blog, posting my desktop as well..
Classy screen, Steph! I just e-mailed you with a picture of mine attached to the e-mail note. Since I don't have an official blog, I didn't know how else to get it to you.
Glad you're feeling better!
I miss the early days when the internet wasn't all clogged with advertising.
