Got to say I love my current desktop background !

You're probably too cool for it, but online games you can get off yahoo or msn, ones that usually give you a trial version, games such as shop mania, diner dash and fish tycoon... it is one of those. You have fish, you breed them and sell them and make money and breed them some more and there are 7 magical fish. its really lame but oh so addicting. and its real slow but I found out how to speed it up. It was actually the game I made a thread about how to redownload it.

I've found 4 magical fish so far :yippe:

SR-71 Blackbird. A few exist around the place, most in the states, a few elsewhere.

Old spyplanes, used to spy on the Russkies before Satellites were that good. Eventuall left service because of the threat of MiG-25's and Sukhoi's.

Also, became darned expensive and obsolete. Impressive beast, technological masterpiece.

Jason, if I were you I'd go get some whois protection on your domain because your personal info is in open view. Spammers can harvest your email addy form a whois check, they can also get your address :(.

You registered your domain through eNom so check out their ID Protect feature - http://www.enom.com/help/faq_idprotect.asp

p.s. you running a web server form home?

Eeek, when you say the full name its serious, that link you gave me has nothing to do with my domain and i brought my hosting online...
From Mango:)

And during the domain reg. i choose not for my details to become public

I did that once. Because it's see-through as default on XP, but if you change it, I don't know how the hell you change it back. Are there no answers on Google?

Anyway, my work computer:

SPIRITED AWAY!! . Love that film.

I changed mine to that coloured box thing once. i never found how to change it back. i formatted my pc in the end
