Computers Theme Wait cursor
If you select the "Computers" theme, the cursor for "Wait" will be a small monitor with a red and blue image. There is a series of bits running through it. I thought that is probably a "W" for Windows or something, but if you decode it properly - it's a plus-sign!

Since launching PhotoshopCAFE.com almost 5 years ago, over 3 million people from around the world have viewed my portfolio, this would be impossible without the web.
