| | I have a natural instinct to collect things, and then leave them where they are. On my other PC I have literally run out of space on the screen, so as I have to delete soemthing every time I want anything new...the problem is I can never remember if what I am deleting is of massive internal importance to the workings of my machine  So it is pot luck...apart from with the snooker games

| | When I saw Dottie's desktop, I was struck by how much our desktops actually tell about our minds and personalitites 
@Frogus: That's funny, I seem to have a natural instinct to throw things away Sometimes even when I need them, like important papers, unpaid bills or clothes I just bought. However, whereas I am a horrible slob in all respects (ask Dottie what my flat looks like) I keep obsessive-compulsive order in both my computers.

| | @Sleep, what doesn't kill my computer makes it stronger. 
@CE, of course, my room is the physical incarnation of my desktop - complete, with real paint, real snooker, real David Bowie , and real endless meaningless forgotten documents and music-players of all sorts...

| | | I should probably remember to post the picture this time....maybe
Erm, this is mine, enjoy...I like to be blasphemous in work
Dottie, that is about the same as mine at home, I like unclutered desktops, minimalism rules!
Frogus, it's a bad idea to have that many desktop items, it slows your PC down because it has to load all of them icons up at startup.

| | Hmmm...so CE's would be completely empty, but pretty enough to distract us
and of course I have the urge to throw away my bank statements as well
EDIT - Just saw Dottie's...ROFLMFAO.... excellent

Dottie, well if more than 15 icons make it on to my desktop then I start to get claustrophobic

| | @Sleep: Yes, the same is true for me, I do find the system somewhat redundant.
@Frogus: You are not the type that increases screen resolution every time you're running out of free desktop area then?
And dont ask me about Caernorhabditis flat, I have no idea whatsoever why she still expect me to remember details...

Those are my post-it notes to myself, containing a lot of information about all my projects and such... So it looks more empty than in actually is. Quote: by Sleep

| | @Caernorhabditis: Seeing and describing... very different things.
And that sounds like my life, not my personality. But perhaps you claim one is the cause of the other here...
