moment i have BG art for TOTAN (at work) and CFTBL (at home). but i
like to rotate in MM, MB, WCS, TZ.

posts? i never got that one figured out.

I've got dozens of BG pix I rotate as my wallpaper. Right now, it's Bow
and Arrow (SS version).

LTG stands for Lloyd The Great. A very nice feller who took some gruff
a while back for vacuuming up a bunch of stuff off of eblech. He really
is great!

I have the famous tray of power balls as my wallpaper. I still love that
picture. Sorry I don't know what LTG stands for either.

At home I just have a generic Simpsons that I downloaded. At work, I made a
collage of all my games and ghosted it back 50%.

Hmmm, don't know if I want to admit this or not, but I just changed
last week...a buddy forwarded me a picture from a very, um, exotic
Halloween party he claimed to have gone to...yeah, right! Adults only!

Guess I better go back to pins, eh? It's an awfully striking picture, though.

"Lenny". God I miss him :(

I think that pic was taken at a Playboy party. I saw it and a couple of
others in the Oct. issue, I think.

LTG is some guy's initials. Don't remember his name.

took.
See what you think of this one.

Home machine - Spirt of 76 - lifted from Microsoft
Laptop - Shot of Tim Arnold's pins, lots of them, trailing off in
to the distance
Work machine - Timeshock - lifted from Empire
Work machine #2 - Another shot of Tim Arnold's pins.

But, I'm about to change a few of these for some others. I tend to prefer
playfield shots for backrounds, rather than backglasses, though I am using
a Fireball backglass shot as my screen lock/saver for my work machine.
