but if you keep track of the stuff and delete old wallpaper off(or save them to something and then delete them of) then your computer memory wont be used up by a bunch of pictures.


that goes for EVERYTHING on your computer.
even .gif tiny image format can suck up a lot of you have a ton of stuff.
but it would take LOT of pictures and stuff to really make a dent in your computer memory
Hmm you're right, but you would have to have thousands, if not millions, of very high-quality high-resolution images before they would start to pose a problem hehe. And anymore 80GB hard drives are standard and it would take A LONG TIME to fill that up completely on images alone. Oh yes and a sidenote (probably unrelated but I wanted to throw it out there just the same) your hard drive space/capacity DOES NOT make your computer run slower or faster. Some people seem to think that if they have a lot of MP3s or images on their computer that it will make it run slower. Not true! Your computer's speed is solely affected by the amount of RAM you have and your processor speed. And another related issue, reformating your hard drive thinking it will make your computer run faster won't do a thing because of what I said above LOL

Sorry but computer technicians tick me off
