Here is shutle1s.bmp, a 1023x800x256 Windows3 bmp file.
Perfect for wallpaper, if you have the memory to spare.
It is a scaled-down version of the 1152x900x256 shuttle1.gif, which was
recently posted to alt.binaries.pictures. Scaled down with Jef Poskanzer's
bitmap utilities, and converted to a bmp using the gif2bmp utility by Graham
Welland. Kudos to these people for making these nifty utilities freely
available and to the original poster of the image (whos name I've forgotten).
The picture shows the open cargo hold of the shuttle with two astronauts
on EVA, with the blue home planet poised dramatically on the top.
Scaled to 1023 pixels wide to avoid bugs in some video card drivers
which show up when loading 1024 pixels wide images. I'm pretty sure
you won't miss that one pixel with views like this...
