My desktop changes often -- I get tired of looking at the same thing day after day. I use a 22-inch LCD monitor in the shack, so this image is seriously reduced.

I change my wallpaper frequently as well. Currently, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Gnome Desktop with a picture of the sunrise over the Atlantic, taken from the 2nd story deck of the house we recently stayed in on Hatteras Island (Rodanthe):

KDE 4.0 desktop on top of Fedora 11 running modified recompiled kernel. I run 4-6 virtual desktops. Each desktops has different wallpaper that automatically changes every couple hours. Wallpaper shown here is East Harlem street scene circa (1971-72).

Yeah... I've had a pair of X-eyes running since the early days.

Fuddy Duddy on the laptop:

3508

First time I saw Fuddy Duddy in the flesh was in a farm field near Batavia, NY, as near as I can remember. Some seventeen or more years ago. I am told Fuddy Duddy was sold to someone out in 6-Land and I have lost track of it.

The landing gear didn't fully retracted.

It is retracted. Lots of earlier aircraft had gear that pulled only partially into the engine nacelles. The D18 Beech that I first posted, the famous DC3, even the early Twin Bonanza and the Piper Apache all had gear that only partially retracted.

Retracting the landing gear longitudinally into an engine nacelle was a simpler arrangement mechanically, and the typical speeds of those aircraft were less than 300mph so the small, round projection of the partial wheel did not contribute significant drag.

All of these images, incidentally, are FSX grabs and not photos of the real airplanes modeled.
