Re: How cluttered is your desktop?

The colours are only quite recent - At school, we used to have some old macs, and, at the desktop, you couldn't tell which ones had colour screens, and which had monochrome. They've come a long way. I bought a mac mini a few weeks ago, and was an instant convert. I dread having to use my windows laptop now.

Anyways, should probably get back to revising now!angel:

What's the code on the "Lock Workstation"? I know Win+L works but I could do with a shortcut.

Yes I know that there are newer versions, but would you like to convince my employers that we need several copies of it? lol

Re: How cluttered is your desktop?

i have around 100 items on my desktop - that's the whole point of having a desktop!


incidentally, anyone who uses a screen res of 1280x1024, do you actually have a 5:4 display or is everything squished? it seems a weird choice to me...

1280x1024 is 4 :3 ratio like as normal
