Here's a good collection of widescreen wallpapers. Jurko.net

Except the whole "CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE BEEN SELECTED TO WIN TWO FREE IPOD NANOS!" thing that plays every time the page loads. So just turn down the volume when you visit.

My favourite car

http://www.wallpapergarage.com/content/view/38/29/

I'm currently using the one right in the centre and if anyone else uses it I'll kill 'em.

3991vhtes · Jun 3, 2007, 08:10 PM

I think that wallpapers are a waste of resources, because most people don't stare at their desktops...

hat · Jun 3, 2007, 08:32 PM

How does it waste resources..?

Heh. you must be the only one then.

Although I dont when on windows.

I do however sit and just play with the dock on OS X... so a good desktop is very important!

Ripper3 · Jun 16, 2007, 09:37 PM

Yeah, using up an extra ~3MB of memory REALLY hogs things.
It's just aesthetics. Just like everything else. Everybody wants a beautiful car, but when are you ever really going to sit and stare at it? For me, I'd rather have a driver's car than a beautiful car, but it doesn't mean I'm not a vain son-of-a-gun heh

I do; that's because I mainly have scantily clad women on mine - but thats not the point!

Casheti · Jun 16, 2007, 10:27 PM

I stare at the Supra and wish it was mine

technicks · Jun 16, 2007, 10:34 PM

I have the same with this one.

Ripper3 · Jun 16, 2007, 11:06 PM

technicks, you have awesome taste, cash... not so much... I never wanted the Supra as much as I wanted a Skyline, or a number of old muscle cars, or even a Caterham Seven R500

Casheti · Jun 16, 2007, 11:08 PM

Lol I'm young.. can't blame me
