You can make any picture you find on the internet your desktop background by putting your cursor over the picture, right clicking, then click on "save as desktop" (IE) or "set as wallpaper (Firefox).

it has to be the right size though- the problem is that most net images are not sufficiently large to use as a background

Thats why you center it on a black or white background Looks good that way for most smaller pics with a framing effect of sorts.

Here's what I have at home and work. I get lots of comments at work - even from other cyclists.
FYI: It's from the 2001 TdF, stage 3.

Hey when you gotta go you gotta go, its funny how when yuor watching the tour on OLN they dont show them stopping unless its major. They portray it as they can take like 12 bottle of liquid for the whole time.
