    My MacBook Pro arrived yesterday! I'm LOVING it! Was a bit paranoid about screen issues but its a LG so no probs whatsoever - came with iLife '08 and smaller AC brick ;)

    One question - all the gorgeous photos that are part of the screensavers - where do I find them? would like to use them as backgrounds!

    If you're talking about the desktop-size wallpapers included with the system, they're located in /Library/Desktop Pictures

    Actually those are just desktop wallpapers. When the screensaver is shuffling pictures, there are a lot more. There aren't even any space pictures, which is a screensaver.

    Maybe it's just my computer, i dunno. I have a macbook 2.0 osx 10.4.10

    You can check the folders that it shuffles though in the screen saver prefs though right? It usually goes through all the desktop wallpapers and your "pictures" folder
