Desktops pics

I had a computer repair man tell me that you shouldn't use any pics for your wallpaper unless they came with your computer. He says they can mess up your computer & take up a lot of space. Is he correct?

LOL this is entirely false. The images that come with yoru computer are either BMP or JPG. Just because the images may be different, the file formats are still the same!! You can use anything, nothing bad will happen.

Computer technicians sure need to learn a thing or two about computers.

Well think about it this way. If using different wallpapers for your desktop was detrimental to your monitor or computer in any way, shape, or form -- the option to do so wouldn't be there!

i HATE with capital H A T E our former comp tech, he, not once but two times,

ERASED ALL of my photos, works, proyects i had in my comp (well my family comp) the first time he said it was a virus and he had to format it so everything was lost, i was mad but what could i do, he was the tech!!!, anyway the second i had all my kid baby pics in it and it happened the same!!! this time i´m sure he got scared because he never even called back.

(just to make a story short ever since he starded giving maintenance to the comp, it crashed, had viruses, burned the monitor and motherboard, and everything you can think of, and before that nothing ever happened)

Ah husky_mom cmop techs like that p*ss me off THE MOST! People who think that the ONLY answer to computer problems is to format the hard drive

Gah I'm SO GLAD I have educated myself enough to know how to fix my own problems instead of taking it to someone who THINKS they know what they're doing.
