These three images were hand scanned by myself. Brief descriptions follow:

dplphin.bmp:  This is the cover of Frazier Chorus' album "Ray"  Its a group of various types of dolphins swimming.  Very pretty.

nikita.bmp:  This is a portion of the poster from the French movie "Nikita" which was released in the U.S. as "La Femme Nikita" and then remade into the U.S. movie "Point of no Return"  It was scanned from the front cover of the Nikita soundtrack.

forest.bmp:  This is an image of some trees and some flowers, on a misty day. It was scanned from my Sierra Club Jornal.

If you would like me to convert any of these bitmaps to some other resolution or number of colors, please send me e-mail and I will gladly oblidge.  

Also, if you know of some gif's or other image formats (jpeg, tga, whatever) and you would like to use it as your background, let me know -- and I'll see what I can do.  I have the resources to convert most anything into a nice looking 256 color background image!  Please include the desired resolution and number of colors (i.e. 800x600x256 or 1024x768x256 or something else)
