That image was resized and aspect ratio-corrected from 1920x1080; I have no clue where I found it.

My desktop on my grandparents computer. I'll post the one from my laptop, once I get Windows 7 installed.

Why do your grandparents have HydraIRC and Photoshop installed?

That would be my doing. Before I got my laptop, that was the main computer I used and maintained. Since I was to one who took care of it, any apps I needed or wanted were able to be installed.

Now that I have my laptop, I still have those apps on there, for such ocassions as I don't bring my laptop or I just need a back up computer.

Heh, I hope they don't accidentally open Photoshop when they want to import pictures from their digital camera. I personally dislike the Photoshop UI, and liked the older Photoshop Elements UI (version 2 I believe), not the newer consumer-ified garbage of a UI.

I'm surprised you didn't comment on DreamWeaver. No, my grandparents use Kodak EasyShare for their pictures, and all defaults have been removed from PS (except PS only files of course.)

But in the even that they do open it, my gram knows some basic editing skills. How to cut, and re-size and such.

I'm not such the DreamWeaver fan, as I can get SharePoint Designer for free from Microsoft.

True, but I am surprised you didn't ask about it.
