I'm curious about what others have on their screens while that log in bar chugs away interminably. I've always got that view of my backside in some location in-world, but what is curious to me is that it isn't always the location I "logged out"* from. Sometimes it is, but more often it's an image from four or five or fifteen visits ago. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

* I have never logged out of SL, I don't think. I pretty much always just play until it crashes, then stop when I have grown tired of logging back in.

So what do you see while you wait?

CODE
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\SecondLife\SL_NAME\screen_home.bmp


or

CODE
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\SecondLife\SL_NAME\screen_last.bmp


When you "Set Home" it saves that screenshot as screen_home.bmp, and then if you want you can go change that image so you get something pretty when you login!

If you have "Last Location" selected, then you see screen_last.bmp, which gets updated the last time you correctly logged out of SL.

But to answer your question, I have mine set to "Home" on login, so I am seeing myself Ruthed at the Shelter :-)

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Oh yeah ;)

If you set your home location, then uninstall and reinstall SL, you see what I see: a black screen.

When I reset home I always set up the shot I want to see and then log out. I suppose images matter to me more than to most people. Sometimes I log out looking at something as I want a shot of that particular thing, too.
