Dan. Whadup.

My evil new internet connection is turning me into a night owl.
I run at 1280x960 on a 19" monitor and it looks damn good to me.  I don't
see how anyone can run at 1600x1200 on a monitor this size or smaller, but
my monitor chokes (ie: seizure inducing flicker) at that res, so what do I
know.

But I would still say if you're going to make an image as a "Wallpaper" it
should at least be available at 1024x768.  Seems like most wallpapers come
in 3 flavors: 1600, 1024 and 800.

I nabbed your 1600 image and dropped it down to 1280 in PS and it looks
good, though a bit blurry.  What was the original image size?

Anyway, great pic...whatever the size.
