Welcome!
On this page you'll find some great wallpaper images, most of which are
science related. All are
800x600 unless otherwise noted. I'll try to update the page at least
weekly! For those who are new to saving wallpaper, simply click on the
image name, then right click on the photo and select "save as wallpaper". If you're using a Mac ...
uh, well ... you're on your own! Have fun!
