How do you get 2 differnt pictures on your desk tops? I cant seem to figure out how. I too run duals.

And yes that MAGI thingy really works. If casper (file server) or Melchior (general server) go down they turn red. That was as close as i could get it using samarize.

Pugsley,
Nice ride :D

I went to the dragstrip down cumberland park a month or so ago and this Ford Wagon..kinda looked like that thing you got on your desktop ;) .Anyhow that damn thing beat the shot outta everything up until the last run of the night..A little 64 Chevy II beat it by less than a second in the finals.
