Re: Office or day-care?

It's silly, but I can understand it being an issue. It's probably easier for them to vette wallpapers than too deal with the occasional person getting <b>freaked</b> at the 'inappropriate' image on their computer. Remember that some of the terminals are <b>very public</b> and they follow a user around...

Something that's find on the computer in my office could cause a firestorm if I logged in to a semi-public screen to check something for a minute -- with 15 visitors from the feminist action league having a cabal session 12 feet behind me.

My guess is that 95% of the pictures submitted would get about 2 seconds viewing before they were put into the public area, where they would then be available to everybody. Hmm... I wonder if they'd then be willing to make the collection publicly available? It'd be a wonderful resource.
