Do you know where I can get the cool wallpaper as seen in ads like this? Any help would be appreciated. Also any other sites for wallpaper is good.

    I've never wallpapered my desktop.



    But I have no idea where they go for that stuff. I wish they'd have more of these nice desktops available to us, but alas, I suppose they already supply users with something like 30 desktops ready for use (and another 40 in the screensaver modules )



    PS, my personal fav was the original zooming-down-the-streets-of-Rome desktop for the first G4 Powerbook ads. they even used a film of it in the commercial.

    No clue. \ I don't think they've released them yet. I wish they would, though. You can never have too many neat desktops.



    Still, there are thousands of neat desktops out there already, and billions of possibilities for desktops you can make yourself. I always say, the best desktop is the one you made yourself... Or at least customized.

    I agree. Since I got a digital camera a year and a half ago, almost all of my desktops have been photos that I have taken.

    I usually make a new desktop in PS about once a week when I get bored and just to keep my skills sharp...this one has my name in giant text as the focal point . I should put it up on my iDisk.

    Can someone please make a cool desktop pic of a "blurry road" just like the one in the NEW TiBook ads? I love that pic, and can't find it anywhere.

    I wish Apple would actually ship those exact pics with the products they appear on in the ads.



    Please post that pic, or give us a url to it! I appreciate it, and so does my Ti 550!

    I think they get them from a professional source like getty images or wieck.

    I have that desktop which I took from their site and did a little Photoshop work to make it usable. I will send it to you, since I have no place to post it to yet (working on it).
