![]() ![]() When I started creating wallpaper years ago, I decided to share them with the world. However, back then there were much fewer sites on the internet than there are today, and we didn't have the powerful search engines like Bing, Yahoo and Google that enabled us to easily find exactly the right image to fit our personality and mood. The practice of personalizing one's computer quickly became popular, especially since Microsoft built into the early versions of Internet Explorer the ability to set any image that was on a webpage directly into your desktop background (the same method that is used in all modern browsers today, in fact). It was only much later, in the 90's after Windows 95 came out that people were able to decorate their computer desktops with pictures, either ones they had scanned themselves - though no one could afford scanners back then - or ones they had found on the internet. Later, when I grew up and the first personal computers were sold to the public, they were not as powerful as the ones on the market today, and there was no Microsoft Windows, so computer desktop wallpaper had not been invented then yet either. Wallpaper only came in the form that you actually put on walls with wallpaper paste, or was used to line the bottoms of silverware drawers (don't ask me why, I never was able to figure that one out myself). When I was a kid, personal computers hadn't even been invented yet. Want To Know Why I Make These Holiday Wallpapers?
