best option si to sign up for a free image-hosting account, like Photobucket, Tinypic, etc......and upload your desktop image to that and link it within a post on this forum using the [img].................[/img] tags
or, get a better picture-downsizer, like ASmallerImage or IrfanView. it should be able to get it below 100kb
could pluck a Screenshot capture program from the web, but......
this ones' better: press PrtScr (PrintScreen button keyboard). open MS Paint, select dotted box on the left tool-side of point, paste pic in right white field of Paint, save picture as .jpg/.jpeg
This is the background on my desktop. This is a time elapsed photo of the a Peacekeeper ICBM at the Kwajalein Atoll. Each of the Peacekeeper re-entry vehicles, all eight are fired from only one Peacekeeper. Each line, were its warhead live, represents the explosive power of twenty-five Hiroshima-sized (Little Boy) weapons

I'm on a 17" flat panel but I never maximize my browser. I like to have it take up about 2/3's of my screen. It's an old habit from designing for viewing on smaller monitors. I leave room on the top and bottom and sides so I can get to other stuff too.
I'm just old school I guess. When I used to design web pages we had to stick to a strict 640 x 480 design because most people back then used to have 14" or 15" monitors running a max of 800 x 600.
I still run across websites which are poorly designed because they either don't scale properly or they assume that everyone is using 1280 x 1024 or higher.
I am old school enough to write pure HTML in Notepad or BBEdit. That's the best way I think. :) ......but that's a whole different topic. Sorry I got a bit off into left field.

this is my desktop, had to resize it a little since my screen is big, currently on a 24" imac, 1920x1200 resolution :) :D not to mutch spydie inspiration..
slvgx, where'd you get that picture? it's awesome!
except my resolution is 1024x1080, not 1024x768 like that picture, stupid photobucket put limits on the sizes of pics.
