    It brings out the creative side in you with your choice of design. It gives you something to look forward to every time you turn on that computer. It relaxes your mood. For some, it keeps them up and about. Best is it describes who you are. But whatever the reason is, desktop wallpapers are absolutely free downloadable cool stuff from the internet.
