The picture was mirrored?

...And the text saying DVD-R is backwards?

Are you using IE ? If not, its possible the picture is inverted. The computer should be on the right and the cup on the left.

The mouse mat is bottom right - under the computer actually.
The monitor is so far back so I can put things in front of it.

TCA,

Wallace and Grommit
What a talent that man has for creating such amusing animations. ( I have seen all four of his major films ).

And, is that a LiteOn DVD drive I see there ( the top one )? Or am I mistaking it for something that looks just like it?

I would post my background... But, you can have the exact same as mine if you just select "grey" as the background colour

lol.

Jess.

PS.
Here's one that Giles of http://www.superchiefsoftware.com made for me a while back. And I used it for quite some time untill I formatted my PC...

How can you have your monitor so far back? That must be bad for your eyes.

Haha, too true

What was it? The first one took him 2 years... His second took him 5, and the third took him 3 if I remember correctly...
I'm not sure how long it took him to create Chicken Run.
But, i do remember he once left Wallace and Grommit in their shoe box in the back seat of a Taxi. lol.

Jess.

PS Ok, that's enough about Wallace and Grommit, seen as this is a "Wallpaper" thread...
