In this article is collection of well designed Retro Wallpapers. When we say retro it mean any culturally outdated or aged style, trend, mode, or fashion, from the overall postmodern past, or it can be used to simply mean “old fashioned” or old, “timeless” or “classic”. Sometimes, it can also suggest an entire outlook on life for example, social conservatism, home schooling, or the embrace of traditional gender roles. Retro can also be applied to forms of technological obsolescence, for example: manual typewriters, cash registers, bulky hand-held cell phones, or the resurrection of old computer games. Take your desktop to the past with this wonderful list of 100 retro wallpapers.

Half of these would be 100x cooler if they didn’t have the word ‘retro’ written on them.

Very nice, but what about a big zip file so we can put them all in a folder and rotate them.
