I used to have a picture of my GF as my background.  Had to replace it with normal wallpaper after the wife made a flat area on my skull with an iron skillet.

Hi there Natedog, I don't really remember, but it could very well be Pedro Duque (ESA Astronaut) who sent it to me when he was training in Houston for the STS-95 mission.

Or someone else from ESA... I can't remember.

There's also a veeeery beautiful pic of the ISS with the earth as background in my laptop, tell me if you want it!  :)

That's a GREAT picture u got there Natedog. My field of interest is actually Deep Space Communications, so I hope -someday- I will get a picture of some place far, far away  ;)

In the meanwhile, I watch "Enterprise"  :D :D :D
