Desktop Demographics

Troubleshooter · 06-08-2004, 09:18 AM

Ok, I've noticed certain trends in the desktops of the computers of people that I've worked with/for/etc.

I'm curious about your desktops.

You show me yours and I'll show you mine.

lumberjim · 06-08-2004, 09:22 AM

uh......I have a few more icons on my desktop than you

Dagney · 06-08-2004, 09:22 AM

My home one is MUCH more cluttered..

Well, it was until I cleaned it up this evening.....see later in the thread *G*

Da desk.

I cut down the desktop icons when they bust into the Firefox text. I just think that the guy who did the Firefox iconography is brilliant. It makes me want to evangelize about it to myself. And so I do.

Woo! Other firefox users! Yay!

Firefox makes me happy, as does the graphic. I mean, come on, a fast-rendering browser with tabs and no pop-ups? And it has a cool mascot? I was sold at the "fox" part. Sweet.

Work...

Full size here, if you're interested. I run 1600x1200 at work, and I'll post my home desktop which is slightly more interesting, tonight.

Ambidextrous, actually. :p

Shutup -- being lefthanded doesn't mean anything.

...but the taskbar on the side means you are at least bi-curious.

lol...i think being ambidextrous lends to that probablitiy as well....
and now for the deciding question...perth, can you whistle?

Kitsune · 06-08-2004, 10:08 AM

lol...i think being ambidextrous lends to that probablitiy as well....

I'm not saying anything about a certain OS or anything, but the closer that taskbar is to the top the closer you are to, uh, "being on the bottom".

You lost me on that one, but I'm a glutton for punishment, so I'll answer anyway. No, I cannot whistle.

(Insert comment about ambidexterity indicating amazing bedroom prowess here)
