I'm still living in the ancient past with OS 10.4. Before that I was using 10.2.8. When I finally got 10.4, they released 10.5 like the next month. I think I'll hold out to 10.6.

I'm pretty sure 10.6 will be Intel only.

That's fine, I have a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo.

Just as long as they give us the option for a normal Dock and non-transparent windows, etc.  I really don't need the graphic candy that Apple builds their OS around.  Option are always a good thing!  That way everyone can be pleased.

Nat, my Mac is better than yours.  I think that means you probably owe a free cheeseburger or something.

I got sucked into the graphic candy. I love transparent windows and all those goodies. However, if it came down to me running the original XP skin or the classic look, I'd go with the classic. XP looks like teh shit - Windows for kids.

You can make XP look like Windows 2000.  That's what I did because I am teh 1337.

Very nifty.  8) Though I'm not sure I'd want to live in Blade Runner world. Then again....

Where's your toolbar? You keep it hidden?

I have a deep love for dense, futuristic cityscapes. Maybe it comes from growing up in south Louisiana with all the petrochemical plants that looks like tiny metropolises at night. It's funny you mention Blade Runner, though. I've often hoped, since first seeing it back in the early 90s, that I live long enough to experience a future like that. I know it's dystopian, but it's just so visually appealing! Not to mention the pervasiveness of technology of all sorts. I can just imagine walking into a tiny retro electronics shop - with hanging, naked lightbulbs and chiptunes playing over the speakers - in some dark, rainy alley in a future megalopolis in 2050 and finding and old TurboDuo there.

I dunno, though... to me this picture looks friendly and inviting. Maybe it looks different because I shrunk it. I can provide the original full-size if anyone is interested.

Yeah, I always "Auto-hide the toolbar." I kinda assumed most people did that (who wants an ugly bar at the bottom that reduces your viewing space?) until I learned from real-world experience that I was in the minority.  :shock:

Time to resurrect this thread!

My current desktop, created on Friday night whilst driving up to Boston:



Note to Roy, Zeta and Sunteam_Paul: THANK YOU!
Roy, you inspired this work of--ahem--art.
Zeta, I'm totally loving the Naid remixes! Absolutely wonderful. I can't get sick of them.
Paul, I was listening to Wibble #8 on the way up to Boston.


My old desktop, circa an old screenshot dated 09.04.08:
