    There are tidy desktops, and cluttered desktops, organised desktops, and ones with icon scattered everywhere. Which one do you have? If you take it in terms of acreage, there are billions of acres of virtual desktop in the world today, and much of that is heavily cluttered. Clean your Virtual Desktop day is your opportunity to bring a little sense and order to your desktop.

    Clean your Virtual Desktop Day was first created by the good people at PCMuseum.ca, to encourage people to sort out their desktops and return it to that pristine vision they received when they first booted up their computer. An orderly desktop has been said to be the sign of an orderly mind, someone who has their work together, and knows what their tool is for and how to use it.

    My virtual one is about as untidy as my real one sadly. I may get rid of some unused Apps off my phone today.

    Why do you need two short cuts to Moodle?

    So you could clean up your desktop by deleting both of them!:)

    To be honest I think it’s my real desk that needs the clean up, the virtual one is an organisational joy in comparison

    Ha ha, yes indeed .... although my late night photo colours are a bit rubbish - it’s the pale yellow variety. The red 706 is in the lounge, and there’s a black 741 wall mounted in the hall .
    ....... I’ll grab me anorak too

    I’m going to change from Dial Up to Broadband I think, just as soon as Rickyrooo’s pictures from Camperjam 2012 have downloaded. Shouldn’t be too long now.....
