1600x1200
1280x854 (widescreen - I don't care if you have to crop it, just get the good stuff in)

I feel the same way, I get really exited (don't get me wrong there LOL) when I see a hires image, tho my screen res is set to 1152x864 so I tend to do everything at that size, went to a site yesterday and found images as large as 3 megs, that was an experience to d/load LOL

Glad you liked it Dave

if you want the original 2.917kb bitmap image, I'll Zip it and send via E-mail.

Let me know.

That works great because of the drop shadows on the icons. (That also means if Chris's image had drop shadows itself, it would become confusing, eh?) I didn't realize that the Mac desktop had that, that looks very nice indeed.

Yeh. The only problem is that the bottom of her panties are off the screen. The original isn't the same aspect as my display. Oh well

Chris - yeah, go ahead and send it to the email address I posted earlier. Once I get Photoshop back (long story short, I had a fire and the cleaning people took my PowerMac *and* my Photoshop box), I'll work on it a bit.

Tone - Mac OS X == sexy. Everything looks good in it

By the way, I'm a high-resolution junkie. I run the following resolutions on the following monitors:

At work: 3200x1200 on a dual 19" Sony Trinitron FD monitor setup (see picture).

Power Mac: 1600x1200 on a Sony CPD-G400 19" flat monitor

Dual Athlon: 1600x1200 on a Sony CPD-E540 21" flat monitor

PowerBook: 1280x854 on its gorgeous 15.2" display

Linux Workstation (1.4GHz Athlon): 1600x1200 on a Sony GDM-F400 19" flat monitor

and I have a boatload more but those are my main ones (though I only have the PowerBook right now).

Joann uses 800x600 on a 19" monitor. <b>Who the fuck does that!?!</b> Stunning.

Out of the insurance deal, I'm going to be getting one of Apple's 23" bundles of love, which will hook up to the Power Mac. I will probably also buy a second 21" monitor and run dual monitors on my new Pentium 4 box I'm building, and move the CPD-G400 (currently on Power Mac) to the dual Athlon, which'll become my Linux box. Weeee! 1920x1200, here I come!

The separation between monitors would bug the crap out of me. I need unbroken screen. At higher than 1280x1024, though, my eyes start having trouble with straining to see details (ie, the screen looks so good, I catch myself trying to focus on detail that really isn't visible, leaning in close to the monitor to see said detail, etc.).

Btw, what's the doohickey on top of your left monitor? I can't decide if it's a microwave receiver, a solar oven, or one of those Jiffy-Snap vaccuum sealers...

How does one go about setting that up?

I'm experiencing a strong sense of deja vu all over again ...

(I still think your setup is cool, Dave)

I usually keep email and text editing on one side (right), web browsing and other shit on the left. I just put the text editor in the middle to show the spanning.

I set it up with dual video cards; newer video cards can do it by themselves (Radeon 9700 Pro, for example). I was using nView software for the spanning, and I bought a product called UltraMon to create a second task bar and handle that sort of shit.
