LOL, I didn't think of it like that. I guess it does look kind of risque. It's a good thing I took the jar of hand cream out of the pic. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

"That yellow liquid" is Gatorade - water of the Gods. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I don't play many games at all really. All I do on the computer is listen to music, post sometimes, talk on AIM and play the occasional strategy/RPG game. Sometimes I have to write a paper, too. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Actually, a lot of people in offices do that too. The cleaninglady in one office we work for asked us to refill the toiletpaper in that office almost every other week, and when we bring a new load, it's no less than 120 rolls. The office has 40-50 people working in it on a daily basis, and 120 rolls for 40-50 people per week is an awful lot. We figured either someone's stealing toiletpaper, or the entire staff eats nothing but baked beans all week long. After a while though, we found out that most of em bring a roll to their desk and use it to clean up spilled coffee, blow their noses, etc... as if toiletpaper doesn't cost any money.

Lennon sorry to disappoint you but notepad *does* number lines. and the reason why i like paint and notepad is because they dont force me to do anything. all those stuff you might see as helpfull and usefull, i see as obsolete rubbish, which is only there to annoy you. paint doesnt do anything you dont want it to do unlike photoshop/paintshop, so its ideal for easy stuff like pixel drawings, image resizing and screenshot savings. same goes for notepad. if you wanna change a website or txt file, notepad is the way to go. it wont mess aroudn with layout, it wont force A4-sized pages on you. its perfect for those simple things in life.

Yeah, Paint and Notepad are the greatest! [img]smile.gif[/img]

As Rikard said, they're great for those small little jobs that you need doing quickly. If I want to paste a screenshot and quickly upload it, I don't want to have to have my PC chugging away loading up this huge program that can do all kind of wonderful things and use up tons of system memory when all I want to do is paste a friggin' image and save it! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Notepad for the same reason - it uses up negligible system resources. Plus txt files are amazingly small... I could copy a txt file into every folder on my computer and wouldn't notice the difference in hard drive space left. [img]tongue.gif[/img] It's good for saving passwords as well other little bits of info you need.

.... Stormy has Teamspeak?! Wow - she must be a secret FPS fan

Great for resizing and converting.

[Iron Greasel]

I think I have Irfanwiew lying around somewhere. Perhaps I should take a look.

Interesting wallpaper Mel LOL. Kinda covered up though...what is it a picture of?

[Melusine]

[img]tongue.gif[/img] It's a pic of me Wendy, but I swear to god I didn't realise what my wallpaper was when I took the pictures. Anyway, it's part of my Sarah's Self-Acceptance Program - I switch it around every month or so.

Could I get a wallpaper of you too, so that I may accept you? [img]smile.gif[/img]
Why would you have an issue with Self-Acceptance?
