i have 66 different picture of bands/musicians that cycle every 30 minutes.

when my computer boots, my boot screen is either a "window - pirated edition" thing or a "warning, you are accessing a restriced computer, you are being monitored" thing.

i have several different logon screens, mostly abstract stuff, a few bands, my favorite being the nirvana one.

There should be a key labelled "Print Screen" or "Print Scr" or something like that. You hit it, then open Paint or something and paste, and it should appear.

Well, I believe the AIM sn you have on public availability here is correct, and it looks like your Yahoo may be too. I bet they can pull an IP off that, not to mention off Jolt itself if they had to, and once they find your ISP you're dead. That is, if you actually do anything bad and they find out.

I don't know how to paste it on here, even though i followed the instructions, mine is a 3-D peace sign on a psychedelic background. My screensaver is from Amnesty International, it has the 30 articles of the UN Declaration of Human Rights with a dove in chains looking out a window.

Upload it using imageshack.com first, then it'll give you a URL, which you put in your post to show the picture.
