For a while now I've been looking for some cool triathlon related wallpaper for my computer and can't find any....anyone have any ideas? BTW, I have a mac so any of that fancy active desktop stuff isn't going to work

Yeah, go to the "albums" section and pick one out. I have been using photos of members as wallpaper on my computers at home and at work for some time now. I just switched to a new one just this morning. It makes for nice wallpaper and I also have the added bonus of being able to say that it is someone I am somewhat acquainted with or at least who shares a common interest with me.

I did find some pretty cool stuff at Louisgarneau.com Try some of the other tri gear manufacturers see what they have. At the moment I have a sepia toned shot of the tour de france cyclists from the cervelo website.
Help yourself if you'd fancy any shots of the Lifetime fitness triathlon pros from my album at http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/photos/photo-thumbnail... Drop me a line and I can re frame them to the correct screen proportions too. That goes for anyone too...

I pulled some pretty cool tri pictures from the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Not for my wall paper, but they are in my pictures on my computer. Let me see if I can figure out how to get them to you...

I go to Google Images and type in "Kona", Triathlon, Triathlete ect. It is hit & miss, but I have run across a few good ones.

I don't know, but there seems to be a plethora of under employed "Computer Systems Engineers" at the "What pays for your triathlons? Pages: 1 2 " that may be able to help you out. I usually just leave them centered in the screen if they get all goofy when stretched out.

to fix the display of the pic (on XP):

1. go to the desktop and right click the mouse
2. select Properties and then the tab marked Desktop
3. on the lower right is a drop down menu headed Display. Choose centre and it will place the image neatly in the middle

Hope that helps

28 is definitely worth some drool! I'm going to spend some time this weekend finding good tri backgrounds and then I'll make an album of them and post a link to it in this thread.
