I wasn't going legitimize his rant by replying, but perhaps the reasons, if 
stated, might make Basil rethink his rant.

I have had, over the years, 9 children by 2 women.  3 with my first wife, 
who had a stroke & passed at 34.  The 2 girls she gave me have both passed 
in the last 15 years from the big C.  My next wife came with 3, 2 of which 
have since passed from MD, and I made 3 boys with her.  I would like to 
have the pix I took of them as wallpapers.  And that includes the 5 boys I 
have left.

This computer is not an income producing device, so it really isn't any 
skin off Basil's nose what I choose to do with it.  I am another user, just 
like he is.

I OTOH, am now 75, and those pix help me to keep their memories as fresh as 
the pictures, some of which are now 40+ years old.
