Hey all. This is a thread to post pictures of your average computer work life. I took this screenshot with all of my windows closed so you could see my desktop background.

So yeah, take a screenshot and post it!

I have not posted in a long time, I am interested what operating system are you running Trapped?

I am obsessed with computer hardware so my desktop background is a picture of how my computer looked last year inside the case.

I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.7 Tiger. Your desktop background/computer looks pretty cool.

I have only ever run Windows and your desktop layout looks cool also, I tried to run Redhat Linux once but when it was installed I did not know how to do anything on its desktop never mind the drivers.

Linux and Mac OS X are both Unix-like operating systems, so think of OS X as an incredibly easy version of Unix to use. Installing drivers and programs and stuff are all point and click easy. The commandline is still there like in Linux, but I've never actually used it to do anything. The only problem...you have to buy Apple hardware to run OS X. I used to run Linux full-time, but find I now get more work done in OS X.

Linux is still pretty cool though for doing certain things.

If you think my layout looks cool, check some of these demos for OS X Leopard, which is going to be released next year!

I think you'll find the Time Machine demo pretty neat.

What I could see of that demo looked pretty cool but my Internet is quite slow right now so I could not see all of it. I would love to experiment with OS X but I dont plan on getting Apple hardware at the moment, it would be cool if they made a program for windows based hardware that would allow OS X to run on them like Boot camp allows Windows to run on Apple hardware.

You could do what I did. I wasn't sure if I wanted a Mac, so I bought a cheap Powermac G4 second-hand for around $175, and loved OS X so much I bought a much more expensive Mac Mini. The Powermac, while old, runs OS X perfectly once you disable Dashboard. So now I have two Macs

I might do that one day but I am still satisfied with windows at the moment because of game compatibility.

The background is some Angband inspired pseudo-art I made using Inkscape. It's Ubuntu Linux running a Gnome desktop.

deep-techno: That looks like somewhere in Wales.

Here's my current one that I adopted about a week back. This picture isn't one of my own: I've taken it from Flickr and adopted it because I like it. It's a poppy.

Right now, I have a picture of the Periodic Table (of Elements) as my desktop background, but it's been changing a lot... I was thinking about drawing something really cool to use and then editing it on photoshop using my friend's computer.
