Damn....all the nice wallpapers are too small for my monitor.......


Then again......not many people have 2560X1024 desktops :D

Next week my setup will be 3840 X 1024 Maybe I'll makes some pistol wallpaper soon :)

Wish Oleg had my 6" Navy Luger with an Imperial German Fleet banner as a backdrop...

Do you travel, Oleg? I can almost feel a PhotoShop coming on... :D

Awesme photo! The Luger 9mm is one of my all time favorite guns. I really need one. Badly!

Just for you, schadenfreude. What kind of monitor has such a wide aspect ratio?

[Telperion]

What kind of monitor has such a wide aspect ratio? Probably the 2 or 3 monitors plopped next to each other kind. :D

[Marko Kloos]

What kind of monitor has such a wide aspect ratio?

Two and three monitors working in spanning mode. It's a relatively new thing on a PC; we Mac-heads have had that option for a while longer.

[Gewehr98]

Although PC folks *have* been using multiple monitors for some time. Note the folks playing first-person shooters, and Microsoft Flight Simulator. I'm running a pair of monitors right now on this Dell Precision machine, so my wallpapers go 2048x768. Once I get a computer workbench wide enough to support 3 monitors, I'll add the third video card... ;)

Wow, and here I've been running at only 1600x1200 for the last few years! I'm clearly behind the times! :D

schadenfreude - love the name. :evil:

Thanks for sharing the pictures, Oleg!

It's a 1914 DWM Luger. I think Lugers are one the neatest looking pistols ever made. I like how they eject straight up. sproiiiing!

[Oleg Volk]

The two pictures provide a little visual puzzle. Can you tell the mis-match between the photos?

Them there German firesticks are perched upon each others holster.

Ummm, no... they're not.

[KMKeller]

Oleg, are you referring to the mags?

[Oleg Volk]

The original mag wih this gun has an aluminium baseplate. I Photoshopped wooden texture over it.

[Gewehr98]

The fantastical plastical HK in the same photo as the all-metal P-08 and P-38. ;)

heehee, he said aluminium!:p

Edited, my first thoughts were that it was a SiG next to the Luger and Walther. Aren't there any Broomhandle Mausers local to you, Oleg? (Vintage triumvirate photo...)

[Marko Kloos]

't ain't a SIG.

[schadenfreude]

Thanks for the larger wallpaper oleg!!

Yeah I have 2 19 inch monitore right now and will be adding a third soon. Once you go multi monitor you never go back.

Currently at my office I run 3200x1200 (2 x 23" monitors with 1600x1200 at 32bpp).

Really nice!
