Actually I've found that with a little imagination and a couple of clicks w/
XV the NASA earth gallery makes for a wonderful wallpaper. I just pulled
down a beautiful picture of the bahamas, with a crop here, a crop there, and
a integer mirror... voila.. a truly wonderful piece of art :) Xearth is nice
but it just can't compare to a few minutes of truly creative thought.
