I have a compass gymball from a Blenheim that crashed near where I used to live in WWII, it has the identification number on it. And I found out how and why it crashed. All the crew were killed
Bdw3, you absolute fucking star. I could kiss you.

I have to moniters that acts as one desktop, and I just want the wallpaper on one moniter. How do I do this?

say both resolutions are 1280x 1024
make an image that's 2560x1024 big, and put the image you want on the side of the monitor you want with the wallpaper, save it and then apply it as tiled or centred and voila!

It looks like this right now, seems it just puts the same image up twice. The moniters split where the taskbar stops

Oops yeah,
I should have put a comma after 'where I used to live'. Sorry

@(pics in bdw3's post; especially the bottom one)
is it just me... or were 1940's cameras so bad that they make everything look like a painting?

To look like a painting is a bad thing? To me the last picture is beautiful.

If you haven't yet, visit the U.S. Air Force museum in Dayton, OH. If yer a military aircraft junkie, it doesn't get any better.

I'm in the UK, a week on wednesday I'm going to the Imperial War Museum in London, which is more tanks and artillery, but I may drop off at Duxford, which has a pretty substantial aircraft collection.
