This sort of belongs here ...

Currently, I have John Howe's wonderful picture of the hallway at Bag End, looking out through the open door, as the wallpaper on my computer at work.

Last Friday, I was giving a serious presentation at work using PowerPoint on my lap-top. So, I had the presentation all set up, and what was on the screen was also on the big screen for the audience, as it should be. The presentation went fine and, once it was over (and people were still milling about), I shut down PowerPoint. And there on the big screen, for all to see, was Bag End. Was it my imagination, or were there a few fairly perplexed glances at the screen?

Hmm, slightly embarassing, to say the least. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
