I still use 'webshots' (free download) and store my favourite travel pics on it. That way it brings back memories all the time.

I'm not sure that people will want screensavers with your picture all over them, but it might scare the kids away from the computer....

I would expect that from you gubby
No pics of me just text, rolling, spinning etc and pictures in a cube spinning, problem is the finished .scr is about 3-4mb zipped, can't seem to get them any smaller.
have some with your name (and Vic's name) on them just been practising, do you want me to email you some? (maybe one at a time)

I just use whatever Pic. I want from my collection, on Desktop screen and on the Laptop.
I just right-click on the relevant Pic. and in the drop-down box, click on " Set as Desktop Background."
I never leave either the Desktop or Lap-top running if I'm not using them. Some-one told me once that that is a good way for Hackers to get in.
Besides which, I don't like wasting Power.
Cheers,
Sheba.

I just use one of my favorite pictures, bit boring I suppose, but suits me. I have Windows Vista, AVG Anti Virus (free version) never let me down yet. A PC guru ran a special program on mine once to see it if was missing anything, result was zero missed....been using it since Adam was a Boy (and Wombats really were Wombats, lol !)

Sorry Johno for being OT, so now back to pegs. I remember in one sus caravan park I took a chair over near the clothsline and read a book under a tree, keeping an eye on the washing, was a hot and windy day, so didn't have to wait too long for the washing to dry.

I just use some photos.
Gubby has more photos and laptops than Harvey Norman.
I guess that's what you do, when you live in the outback.
He's not bad at fitting radios though, that is when he remembers to plug in the soldering iron.

We'll see about my vivid imagination when I get around to sorting some of these photos out.
The again, I could put them up for auction?
To publish or not? That is the question?
