That would be GREAT!  perhaps we should have a contest and each participant
could upload there screens to the list or to the MiNT ftp site.  Then a
webpage could be created that would allow the MiNT group to view the screens
and vote on which they like best.  The winner would be the screen included
with distribution, and the others would be available from the ftp site if the
user wishes to change their screen to a premade one.
