ok, you asked, and admitted to the world that you use XP. Are you just sad, or is it a cry for help? group therapy might be an option...

Anyway, I use <drum roll and fanfare> OS3.9 and here is my very ugly, outdated, slow, 50Mhz based workbench...

look at the background and know the truth.... windows look unrealistic, plastic, synthetic whereas the Amiga is natural, full of life

He he he, 80's heavy-metallers always bring a smile on my face... very cheesy look and attitude, but in a way so sincere and touching...
Very nice desktop piccy, where did you get it? I'd like to have it!

At least one person has noticed it V For Vendetta is still the greatest piece of literature ever written

Oh, yeah, and I could make a screenshot of my Workbench setup of course, but it wouldn't really be interesting to look at. It's just the standard OS3.5 setup showing the drives and no wallpaper.

Nice Desktops peeps.

Here is my Win ME setup - the wallpaper babe changes on every boot - just call me a digital pimp!

Don't understand why people diss Win ME. If you remove all the crap using system restore remover it's fine - no good as a server or 24/7 uptime solution, but general use it hardly ever gives me any probs. Stable as a rock and runs faster/less resource hungry than bloatware XP.
