How do you personalize your computers?

I for example have H.P Fan-Made videos to run
and line inputted or CD inputed audio for themes
based on my moods, and I find this good.

When I just have a basic OS 9.1 installed for
online purposes the computer is as empty
as my I-Physical world. I will video, text,
audio and go online simulateusly.

For the record it is a Wallstreet 266/384/10g/CD/
Zip model.

When I use my spare Wallstreet 266/192/4g/CD
I use OS X.2.8 to run the screen saver slide
show for my favorite Goldenage comics covers.

What about you folk? I bet you are very creative
in personalizing your computers.

when i get my own computer, i will probably do something with the X-Men
A

Mine has dog saliva on it. The dogs lick it occasionally - it's a laptop and so are they!

I have very limited computer skills and only change the desktop colour/patterns.

I like that statement. It is
very funny and truthful. How
big is this dog that licks laptops?

If you are running OS X.2+ there
is a setting that allows a slide show
and all you do is put your pictures
in the drag'n'drop point and it will
be a colorful screen saver.

I am still learning about OS X
and this is one of the cool features
I have found.

oh I mostly use the computer in bed, I'm one of those people who live in bed, eat there, read there etc. I have two whippets which are a like a smaller greyhound, the girl is a year old so she's fully grown, about 18 inches high, and the boy is 3 months so he's only little. So we're all in bed and that's how they get to lick the computer, although I discourage it. Bleh!

I don't have a web cam or digi camera (gotta get one of those!), so here's a link to some whippet pix (not my dogs) in case people don't know the breed.

Made my own background image using gimp, turned off all the sounds winxp makes, made it looks like win98 use powertoys to turn off auto run cd/cdrom put in drive no sliding menus etc. use third party tools to make windozw less painful to use.

I saw the dog pictures and they are
really cool looking, thanks for that
pictorial display.

I usually use an anime or video game related desktop, or I use a picture that I drew. And I use sound effects from Rurouni Kenshin. When I start up the computer, it plays the song Heart of Sword by TM Revolution. I also have some anime and video game icons.

Here's a screenshot of my desktop: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15997683/
The background is from the game Katamari Damacy.

What stood out the most was
the cows and the green landscape.

My desktop:

I know very little about computers so I stick to the superficial stuff. The desktop usually has some kind of "nature" background:

The picture is a large sweet chestnut tree in Greenwich Park. The tree is probably around 300 years old, though is possibly older. Greenwich Park is my favourite park. http://www.royalparks.gov.uk/parks/greenwich_park/

I use WindowBlinds and all the other software in Object Desktop. It is really useful.

I like to change color schemes and graphics. I also try to remove logo stickers from the machine to make it look more streamlined.

Johnny, stop necroing.
