You know the one. The background picture that's in almost all photos of the IIfx. The 3d rendered shot with the floor plastered with Apple logos, fading off into the background, and spheres floating above, refracting everything. (You can see a tiny picture of it in a IIfx photo on Low End Mac's IIfx page, http://www.lowendmac.net/ii/iifx.shtml)

A computer at work (circa 1992) had it, but it's been many years since I knew where it was, or even what the file was called. If someone could email it to me, I'd be in your debt forever. (Or 'till MacWorld Paris, whichever comes first.)

(The Mac Display Card 8*24GC is on its way in the mail right now... All I need next is the 'original' 16" or 21" Apple monitor to go with it... Oh yeah, and a Portait, and a Two-Page, and a.......)

Guys - there was a dude on that thread that had the coolest Matrix wallpaper of the Trinity 'Dodge This!' scene. Any of you guys got it, prefereably at 1280x1024, or know where to find it?

Considering that (like all the mods) he's got FTP access to the site, he could upload it there so we could all take a look... </hint>

Considering the fact that the resident technosaur hasn't got a freakin' clue as to go about doing such a thing . . . you lose!

Would you do it if I wrote you a how-to?
You can use Terminal, and it only takes 6 steps of writing something and hitting Return...
