 O.k., let me try a little diddle. I moved the chair closer to the table
(so it won't wrap again) and added a border to the screen:

 It looks great to me - the chair isn't bad either :)  It is really
outstanding for a first pic!

>   And YES a Linux user does NOT need a mouse,

 So you are using no graphical browser (aka as Netscape ;)? Netscape is
unuseable without a mouse, and Opera is far from being useable at the
moment.
 Furthermore you don't seem to be doing any graphics - for gimp is also
quite useless without the help of a mouse.

 Yes, I also don't use my mouse quite often (thanks to the easy
configuration of WindowMaker or Sawmill), but in some circumstances you
really need a mouse (e.g. within quake ;). Face the fact: If a Linux
user needs a mouse depends on the thing s/he does. Everything else is as
ignorant as MS is.

 Have fun!
P.S.: Gee, I wonder why such a proud Linux-User as you needs to use on
the one hand Netscape for posting (get a real newsreader(tm) like [1])
and on the other hand need NT for that (my excuse is beeing at work,
what is yours ;)
