Desktop Madness! Look at mine and others.

I was tagged by the blogging champion Rolando from R playground. While at his blog, I noticed this "shout" for Bobby of Revellion fame. I really like this guy too, and he has helped me out with my own blog - as well as many others. I want to join in too, so here goes...Bobby just wrote a cool factoid on Search Engines and Site Content. Check it out here, and please vote, especially if you are a Technorati member. If not, sign up and vote, it only take a minute.

The full story is on Bobby’s site at Revellian.com. He gives his insight on what makes good blogs and provides plenty of link love.

On to the TAG!
What’s on your desktop?



First off, my desktop is not very impressive. I run windows 98 because I like old things. My memory back up is on cassette tape! (??) Second...No I did not put a picture of myself golfing, I share this computer with Chi Girl. She will tell you that "share" is not the word for it :-) Please do not click on the solitaire icon, or my hard drive will crash. (humor)

I TAG: Deep in the Forest Star Mama's House Golfing Cat Prin's Links
Your turn. You guys have to tag 5 people and all of you have to take a snap shot of your desktop as it is. No house cleaning before hand (well, I did just a little house cleaning).


[TAG STARTS HERE]
My Desktop Free View Instruction:
A. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.
You can do a screen capture by: [1] Going to your desktop and pressing the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key). [2] Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and do a Paste (CTRL + V). [3] If you wish, you can “edit” the image, before saving it.
For MAC users: Press [ Apple] [ Ctrl ] [ Shift ] and [ 3 ]
B. Post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop just below it if you want. You can explain why you preferred such look or why is it full of icons. Things like that.
C. Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktop as well.
D. Add your name to this list of Free Viewers with a link pointing directly to your Desktop Free View post to promote it to succeeding participants.

Haha, I thought those desktop icons looked old.

I like the little message at the bottom of your screen. You're too funny!

Speaking as a card carrying member of the old stuff set ..it warms the cockles of my heart to see windows 98....I have to admit that I have betrayed the club and now have xp but only because I was blackmailed by the young redheaded lass with great legs at Best Buy who turned me into a gibbering idiot...

Hi Eric,
Is that you? What a nice form!
When you posted a comment on my post about this desktop tag, I wanted to pass on the tag to you too, I just waited too long and now I see someone beat me to it.

Erina Hart said...

You have Windows 98? That is awesome! I sometimes miss having things like that.

(Now, I'm thinking about my old SEGA and PS. Oh, the memories!)

Thanks!!!!! I liked Windows 98. There was no hidden Microsoft backdoor secret spyware built in!
