My screensaver is a close up of my daughters wee white West Highland terrier...cute wee dogs the Westies. I used to change my screensaver regularly but I have had the Westie for a while now.

Herself has just put a new one - me and my dogs sat outside the Royale caravan, with the Range Rover LSE in the background. Nice pic, but I can't remember where it was taken!

Mine is when my father and I travelled to France earlier this year
on our maiden voyage in the just recommissioned Peugeot D4B van,

We can be seen in this race in second place (the blue one) it was a terrifying race too, downhill (out of gear) we hit 70kmh !!

Cool Cool

Hi
are youtalking about screensavers or desktop pictures?
I have a Bristol Fighter as my desktop and my entire folder of car pictures as a rolling/changing screen saver.

You sure? A screensaver is a moving image that prevents burn-in on a monitor. This was a problem in the days of CRT tubes but isn't with today's flat screens.

A wall paper or desktop picture is a static picture in the background. Sorry for the lecture but I doubt many people use a screensaver these days.

Hi riley

That was why I asked the Q.
As I said I stll use a screensaver, it's like having a slide show when I'm not actually using the computer.

I don't use a screen saver but I might choose the multiple pupplies licking the screen if I had one.
