the title of this post might be a little bit misleading - but it just fits so well to the following little story.. Here we go: About one year a go my most beloved five years old Powerbook broke down - went insane in the main frame - had enough of all the pitty and denied all orders.

What happened..? The motherboard got ‘tired’ or ‘ill’ or actually it just broke. The screen froze in front of my eyes - and after trying a restart it just didn’t start up anymore. That was that.

Of course I was just in the middle of something - so I just had to get a new working station right away - and that’s how I got my new ‘SurfBoard’ I’m sitting at right now: a 15″ MacBook Pro, 2 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor, 1GB Ram etc..

With this new device new problems arose right away: first it was ‘just’ software related problems.. - ..I thought:

My good old software packet ‘Macromedia Studio MX’ was also working partly on the new MacBook, only the most crucial little application ‘Dreamweaver MX’ did not want to cooperate.. - ..and without ‘Dreamweaver’ I can’t really do my daily business..! So I bought ‘Macromedia Studio 8’ right away, about 48 hours after I got my MacBook Pro..

I recently received a very nice Email - a visitor of these pages ‘reminded’ me kindly that some of my about 5 years old desktop-wallpaper-pictures were not available in any contemporary screen-resolution.. Back then I just rendered them in these following three different sizes: 1152×768, 1024×768 und 800×600..!!

Anyways - I finally added some pixels here and there and ‘re-rendered’ the three Finland-wallpaper-pictures in ten up-to-date sizes:

PowerBook / MacBook Pro:
1440×900, 1280×854, 1152×768

Monitor / Screen (4×3):
1600×1200, 1280×960, 1280×1024, 1024×768

Studio Display (16×9):
1680×1050, 1280×800, 1024×640

..hurray!

And here’s the direct links to the three sets:
1) Finland Helsinki Kontula Summer
2) Finland Helsinki Vallila Summer
3) Finland Helsinki Vallila Winter

..well - greetings, Till..
