Do you see IE somewhere? :)

But, obviously "Cram up my computer with loads of adware, spyware, and crash on top of it". I tried to put it as a label for it's icon, but it didn't fit, so I was forced to remove it ;).

Oh, and those "purposes" instead of names - well, I know what the programs are already, and that way the desktop feels more... hm, unique I guess?

Still 3mb shouldn't take that long to download.
EDIT:
Ok, ok, here's mine. I don't like the background anymore, so it's going to change soon.
Oh, and it's dual desktop (two monitors):

How often / long do you stare at your desktop compared to actually doing something? :-/

They are perfectly ordered. I was always wandering how people can find anything on grid-aligned desktops. ;)

[edit]
Breakman79, can you speak Japanese?

[edit]
Why would anyone want aligned desktop? Isn't it enought that most of the turn-based games have square grid? Or that we live in square-aligned cities and square-shaped rooms? But to align icons to the square grid, by my own will, without anyone with big gun forcing me.. This just doesn't fit in my head. Ask any graphics designer, he will say it's an insult to his artistic sense. And no, I don't stare at the desktop at all, just one second to start a program. And I enjoy many board games, including chess, but that's another story. :)
Sorry for the rant, I don't mean any offence, just couldn't keep it to myself. :)

It's probably breakman's girlfriend, cause why would he look at some chick he doesn't even know? That would just be stupid. Ya know?

What if the picture he has has the name of the model as the filename? Does that count as "knowing who she is"?
