Where's your Persona?
I found it by following your link in the OP.
:oops: When I searched yesterday EV's Persona didn't show up - now it does!

I've downloaded it EV - it's very nice!

I spent hours trying to find a really suitable Oolite nebulae pic. In the end I cheated, and used an actual astronomical pic of the galactic centre, which looks amazing at the full res of 6000x3000.
That's a fabulous piccie - do you have a link to the 6kx3k image?

I couldn't find the original online, so my copy is here (2.9MB).

If you haven't done so, you really should follow that link. It doesn't link you directly to the image, but to a download page which is mostly a warning about just how big the image is and what horrid things it could do to your computer :shock: It's got to be the scariest download page I've seen!
Now I'm off to download it, so if you never hear from me again.... :cry:

I have that image as one of my backgrounds. :P

On a related note, for those of you running Windows 7 - You can get a theme pack with that image and many similar NASA images... http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... .themepack

Active users… this can rise or fall, which intrigues me. Is my Firefox browser reporting back to some central control every day?
Something like: ‘Checking-in… yeah, he’s got the same purple outfit on again today’.

Purple outfit, you say?

Seeing as you dredged this thread up, I have to agree - that pic is absolutely stunning!
Also - seven people are still using my Firefox Oolite Persona, which uses slices of that pic.
