"This desktop is of my laptop. Its a picture of my boyfriend and me standing in front of the famous "Tour d'Eifel" in Paris. And purple is such a great colour."

"As noted, this is my work pc. I work at a non-profit in Brooklyn, NY.

I love sci-fi and all that it embodies- the what if's always surrounding the human condition. This wallpaper is by Gilles Nuytens, is a mix of a few different sci fi shows, it reminds me of all the the possibilities..."

You are on a computer right now.
It has a desktop.
Share it with the world.

Send in desktops from your computers at home, work, school, etc. Check out the posts in greater detail by clicking on the images. Spread the love by sharing this site and/or stealing someone's desktop and sending it in with an explanation. Humor is always encouraged, but certainly not necessary.

SEND ME A SCREENSHOT OF YOUR DESKTOP WITH A BRIEF EXPLANATION AND YOUR LOCATION by following the easy instructions below. If it doesn't work, go here and figure it out - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot

On a PC:
Minimize everything so that your desktop is showing. Grab a print screen of your desktop by pressing the "print screen" button (it's in the top right of your keyboard). Then open up microsoft paint (programs>accessories>paint). Paste the image in there by simultaneously pressing ctrl and "V". Save it as a bmp. Then send it over to me, thedesktopexperiment@gmail.com. In your email, INCLUDE A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR DESKTOP. Maybe you'd like to explain the background image, give an anecdote, or just include something totally random. Just make sure to say if it's a home, office, work, public, etc computer.

On a Mac:
