Haven't seen one of these in a while, thought I might as well make one.

I just reformatted, still have to re-install a lot of backup files.
EDIT: Oh btw, it's not vista. I'm on XP.

None of the Myst games work with the current version of Quicktime =<.

Also, rep to whoever notices the "interesting" game on my desktop. I haven't played it yet so I don't know what it is like, but it involves a certain urban legend. Hint: It's in it's own folder.

Myst Masterpiece - haven't played that game in years! Have it sitting in the bottom of a draw somewhere in my room :p

Stargate Atlantis.
Huge fan of Stargate myself.
Got Seasons 1-10 of SG-1 (10 is when it ended) on DVD.
And seasons 1-3 of Atlantis on DVD, its currently in it's 4th season.

While most sci-fi nerds love Startrek, i hate it lol, I'm a Gatey always will be, and have been for nearly 8 years :)

Anywho, that image was a fan art render based on a scene from a recent episode, which rocked. And i loved it, so i wallpaper'd it :XD:

Right Click -> Lock it...did I spoil it? Sorry, but unlocked looks horrible.

Also, got myself Ultimate 64-bit...the new memory management is amazing.

Go to Start > My Computer, then at the top bar (File, Edit, etc.) click Tools > Folder Options. Go to View and try to find something relative to the text transparency.

I'm not 100% sure it's in there, but I'm guessing it is.

hey I think the flag is cool. But I'm not super patriotic. I change my background alot. I can't keep the same picture on there for more than a month. The flag is for this month until I get sick of looking at it.
