My Desktop
I THINK Opal tagged me on this one sometime back in the late eighties. But a lot has happened since then!
There was Milli Vanilli, Bill Clinton, and of course something that would come to be known as the world wide web.
In any event, sorry for the delay Opal, Brown and Forest (amongst others). I’m sure by this time you all have cursed my name for many days but I beg you… FORGIVENESS! PLEASE!
My Desktop
- The first column of icons in the top is what I consider my most important… Flash, Paint Shop Pro, Firefox, My Computer and the Recycling Bin.
- The next two columns are a few utilities that I use to clean up my computer, (like Ad Aware and Crap Cleaner) as well as some other apps that I use for overclocking purposes.
- The last columns up there are generally games including just about every game in the Command & Conquer series.
- At the bottom of the screen you’ll see random stuff that for the most part allows me to connect to my computer at work. (And iTunes which somehow made its way down there…)

Wow. That is about the “loudest” desktop I’ve ever seen. I bet you never fall asleep in front of that screen! LOL.

@Teeni – That would imply that I ever SEE my desktop. Ha ha! Usually I have too many windows open to see the desktop!

@Madhur – Well done friend! You missed Warcraft III though. And nice on the graphics card too…I’ll say though that this computer was a recent build and if I knew what I do now, my mobo would’ve been SLI ready instead of Xrossfire and my vid card would’ve been NVid. *nod*
@Andrew – Ha ha. I’m trying to think of my favourite raps…Probably in no particular order…
“I’ve been workin’ in the flea market so early/I’ve been workin’ here since my momma was a baby…” -Parappa 1
“Momma Momma Momma Momma Momma Momma Momma Momma *crazy riff* *crazy riff* *crazy riff* *crazy riff* *crazy riff* *crazy riff* *crazy riff* *crazy riff*” – Um Jammy Lammy
“Kick! Punch! Block! I got the funky flow!/M I X the flour in TO the bowwl!” – Parappa 1
“Hold the hose real tight and get ready for a real fight…
*BRAWM* *BRAM* *BRAWDA BRWADA BRA DA* *BRAWDA BRWADA BRA DA*
Havin’ fun – I’ve been doin’ this for years and let me tell you a little something… With the funk..
” – Um Jammy Lammy (I could keep going, that has a really catchy chorus)
“What’s this?/What’s this?/A trick with a twist?/Somebody [help me out/somebody and make it quick!]” – Parappa 2
+1

Milli Vanilli!!! I almost forgot about them.
One of the poor buggers killed himself and the other was (last I heard) trying to make a *serious* music carear playing some acousticy blusey stuff.
And just to remind everyone how amazing they were here is one of their amazingly deep songs and videos! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSqV3rWM4iQ

LOL Thats is a silly background…I was expecting something a little more grownup.

@G-Newt – Thanks. (#):)
@WarriorBlog – I’ll take that as a compliment. (#):) But in case Parappa isn’t earning me any brownie points, here’s the bg on my laptop! – It’s a little piece by Seurat.

Dude, I totally love it! Loud and cheerful all at the same time.
Shine on,
Aaron

@Aaron – Absolutely! Parappa certainly has a special place in my heart. (#):)
