<strong>Still in OS9 Mando? What hardware are you running? (nice desktop BTW)</strong><hr></blockquote>
I am simply unable to work in Mac OS X! I have tried my best to work with X for more than a year but it just slows me down. Another reason I don't like X is because the lack of FinderPop (my favorite add-on application of them all - quite frankly, I consider FinderPop a killer application.) [I have tried FruitMenu and Itec and they suck].
Alsos, another reason why X slows me down is because my hardware: A PB 400 (Pismo) with 768MB RAM.
Thank you for the kind words about the desktop. If any of you are interested in the desktop, it's available right now at
<strong>Wow. I have to say thats one of the best desktop sites I've ever seen. Excellent job. </strong><hr></blockquote>
If you are refering to my latest-latest desktop, thank you so much. This morning after I went to ResEx and saw the need for new snapshots, I just did it for the fun of it.
Again, thank you. If you want it, just let me know.

I was actually referring to all of <a href="http://www.mandolux.com"; target="_blank">mandolux.com</a>. Really interesting stuff. I dont know how much of it is yours, but overall its a great collection of desktops.

Yes and no - the aerospace section of my site constitutes more than 70% of my site (even though I haven't done any aero pics lately) and therefore, he is right - there is no way I could have taken all of those photos. But as far as the other stuff, you are right (few exceptions with my Blurra, Mercedes, bonzai, zenas). I have done everything when it comes to the graphic work . For instance, in my zenas | closer theme, the original images were 800x600 with issues (jpeg artifacts, one annoying green camera CCD dot, jpeg saved in medium (30) and a few images had light/contrass aberrations) - I worked on them and created what you see in my site. As many of you would know, taking an 800x600 image and making it into a 1600x1200 desktop is not that easy since you have to worry about jpeg artifacts, combulations, blurriest, fave in coloration, and other stuff I had to fix.

I've been switching desktops a lot lately, and have settled on this one.
BTW, how do I turn a pdf in to a JPEG.

Open it in Preview, then go to File, Export, and select JPEG.
Here's the view on my iBook 800:

Where did you get that desktop illustration?

...what a beautiful desktop Serrano!
BTW, I hope you'll enjoy this preview for my upcoming graffiti desktop. It's titled 'By the Street.'

Cool pic! Can you post a public linky please?
