Spread Atop Our Desk

...Is our undying loyalty. Previously we'd put on the signet.

We can never understand how the body actually curls around the book that the head and tail appear on the same side.

Now we've gone retro and decided to pay back a visit to our cool mentat, Ammon. Just because Westwood decided to go in different directions for the Ordos Mentat each time (Edric O the thinking machine in Dune 2000, and Roma Atani in Emperor: Battle For Dune) didn't detract how we like the laidback Ammon.

Does anyone actually sit with an arm across their chest like that?

Oh yes. During our Win98 years we'd littered the desktop with shortcuts aside from the standard fare of My Computer, My Documents etc. Then when WinXP came about and cleaned the desktop of all icons and shortcuts save the Recycle Bin, so did we. Ahhh, a clean, empty desktop where everything necessary is pinned to the Start Menu.

So yes, the only icons on our desktop is...
My Bluetooth Places - we can't delete this somehow.
101 reasons to stay in TTDI text file - a project still in the works. Initially we stated that if we could list 101 reasons to stay in TTDI, NJAPF should shift to TTDI too. This, of course, is some 2 years back now.
Recycle Bin - which is nearly always showing an empty icon because we normally use the shortcut Shift-Del.

Clean and tidy hor our desk? This to prove to NJAPF whom tagged us that we be clean. Now, what goes around comes around. Show us your desktops, people. Press that Print Screen button (after pressing Start-D) now!
QR!
Doc Paul!
Alex!
Sam!
Ru!
Adrien!
Pilot Will!
We may confiscate contraband. After that go spread the love.

Hrugaar: Well actually we used to too. :P

NJAPF: We're still template hunting! But yes, we likes it clean.

Sam: Hurrah!

Jason: Well we forgot to save the old template HTML and so left it as it is.

Adrien: Just right for the harried student. Not. Enough. Green.

David The Man: Tag back? With the same meme?

William: No Zen. Just House Ordos. :P
