Well...finally sat down and watched a few tutorials, followed one and made the background that is on my desktop. hopefully I can get some more practice in and get better at working with this program.

thanks man, your stuff has kinda inspired me lol I need to do alot more trial and error and following tutorials but I think I can def see myself getting into this type of stuff. Def want to get my new computer set up now. and once I do that I will prob add those programs to my list.

the desktop software is geektool, its on the appstore for mac. you can do alot of **** with it, you have to either look the code up or write it yourself tho and I havnt dived that dip into it yet.

the calendar line on the top is called dateline, I dont think its on the appstore, or wasnt when I got it.

Thats pretty cool, I need to learn how to make something like that...

thanks man, it was pretty fun after I got over the frustration of listening to a 10 year old on youtube make it look so damn easy haha

In photoshop we can create a new layer and just slap it on top to get rid of that.

I have CS5 extended on my desktop and laptop. With this program you can only have two installed so since I don't use CS5 on my laptop I'm willing to un-install it and send you both disc's if you want. You only be able to install it on one computer. You interested?

If you want me to hook you up with some photoshop pm me what you need.

Aint that the truth. Some of the video's are terrible and don't offer HD or explain what the heck they are doing.
