Re: Not an issue I'll notice
My first encounter with carousel desktop wallpaper display programs was whilst working on a busy IT helpdesk in the late 90s dealing with corporate customers.
This was in the period when the first P400 Windows PCs started appearing and our helpdesk was slowly replacing the older Pentium based machines with the much faster P400s.
As we were hot desking which PC you ended up with depended on when you started your shift. So on the fateful morning I rolled up for my late morning to early evening shift to find that the only PC available was the oldest P90 which, while usable was the slowest machine that our team had.
I logged in and started working. The day was busy and one of my first customers was a (justifiably) irate gentleman who, although their problem was easy to fix and covered by the terms of their support contract was still waiting for a fix some days later.
As I was attempting to take notes, work out what to do next and placate the customer the P90 froze for fifteen seconds. Five minutes later whilst trying to finish the call it did exactly the same thing.
Somewhat later in the day when things had quietened down a bit I discovered the culprit. It was a natty utility that replaced the desktop wallpaper image every five minutes. I found out that it had been installed by a collegue during a quiet night shift and then the aforementioned collegue had found some "cool" images on the internet and downloaded them. Without checking the actual file sizes.
Most of them were large enough to make a P90 running Win 95 go into single tasking mode whilst loading them. I wrote a stroppy email to our team leader who, after berating me for the tone of my email proceeded to send out an email later that day to the whole team reminding us all that installing "non work related software" on helpdesk PCs was not permitted
