how do you snapshot your desk top
Posted by: madd_dogg_914 Oct 29 2005, 12:05 PM
Minimize all of you open windows, then press the "Prnt Scrn" (Print Screen) button on your keyboard. That will save the image to your clipboard. Open whatever photo editing software you have and Paste (Ctrl-V). Then you can resize the image to a suitable viewing size, upload, and viola, you are done!

You can tell so much about a person from their desktop... Cool backgrounds everyone. Also glad to see I'm not the only person with a mess of icons...

Nice choice in games. Have you loaded the http://shtup.home.att.net/ update to System Shock2?
Posted by: Brando Oct 29 2005, 03:27 PM
Yes, I have. Really makes the game more playable without those cartoon-like blodgy textures

I cant remember
its a pretty damn good rendering of a 917 , there were threads here or on pelican, and the subject was these amazing renderings..
I right clicked the pic I liked, not the link
Posted by: SGB Oct 29 2005, 08:16 PM
This is one of several on my laptop. At work I have a program that ports the screensaver to the desktop, and the SS I use is the windows picture slideshow pointed to my 914 pictures folder so i get a new 914 desktop every 2 minutes.

I didn't bother with a screenshot; I just shrank down the source image that I selected as my desktop background. That's my attorney's car in the main part of the image (with the two of us in it, at the top of the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca) and that's her in a Russel school formula car in the inset.

I use the same CAD programs (Autocad 2000 and Solidworks 2005). Ive used many versions of both programs, and those are my favorite.

That's a good one...
A pic of the race car would be good, but I have my desktop picture of my true reason why I both want to and don't want to go to work these days...

His first words HAVE to be "Jack Stands"
Posted by: jhadler Nov 1 2005, 02:52 PM
-Her- First words....
Yep... This car has spent more time on jack stands in the last few years than it has on the tires. 
However.... I've decided that I'd rather have a running car that I can take to the track, than the ultimate project car that collects dust in the garage. So, I have new found inspiration, and am only looking for newfound funding...
I'm shelving the horizontal fan conversion. Maybe for a year, maybe for good. I have the fan kit, and might even be willing to sell it at this point if anyone's interested...
