I love it, especially the gif on downloading all the information on the internet. Thanks.

Estimated time left for download; 4,381 years, and then an insufficient memory warning....ROTFLMAO,,, :>)

How would one stick that on someone else’s desktop so that’s ALL they see....w/o messing up the whole enchilada?

That graphic is classic but sadly outdated. That graphic shows the Internet is approx. 23 Petabytes. I worked for a hospital system that had over 20 EXAbytes (1 Exabyte = 1,024 Petabytes) of EMC SAN disk. More than enough to store the Internet from this graphic.

FWIW, there’s no real way to calculate the exact size of publicly accessible data. The total amount of stored data, public and private, is probably incalculable in a “Graham’s Number” sort of way.
