That's a beautiful painting included in this post - may I ask who the artist is?
Thanks!
I will name my next computer Zdenek Zouhar.
Hi Pieter
This most charming painting is "Jeune femme avec le parapluie rouge à la mer" by the Belgian artist Alfred (Émile Léopold) Stevens, 1823-1906. He is one of my favorite artists!

Haha nice Scraps! And while he is not on these lists, I am now thinking of naming my mac Ferdinand Titz, your favorite German composer (and mine!)
TZZZZZZZZZZZZ
