When I was your age, I did something similar with the stairs.

I've actually been off Mountain Dew since the thirteenth of February. It was starting to cost too much, so I decided (again) to try and kick the habit.

I am sure that photo will get Don's approval.

BTW, nice photo.

So the next Friday the Thirteenth (which is in March) the curse of no Mountain Dew will be lifted?

No, I'm hoping to stay permanently off it.

Good for you Don. I've been trying to kick all soda habits in an attempt to become a little healthier.

Thanks for the photo comment Antony.

Oh, and cool photo with the cans on the stairs. I believe it was last year, after the semi-formal dance at my school, we rounded up all the different soda cans, and made pyramids on the tables. Diet Coke won, with the highest can.

Nice Mandrake, is that one of the included wallpapers or one you found somewhere else?

Oh, cool.

I have been told that you can find some interesting ones there, but I never look. I usually just go to InterfaceLift.

Here's mine (1440x900;2.8MB). I re-installed XP about a week ago, and haven't had the time to reinstall all my usual apps. Therefore, it's a bit bare.[/url]
