Needless to say I can't wait for the summer break to end!

Dang that's awesome, adding that to the rotation!

Edit -- how do you get it to stretch between both screens? Windows 7 doesn't seem to be sophisticated enough...

You can do it with Windows 7. Make sure the image is the exact resolution of both screens together and when you set your Desktop Background, set Picture Position to Tile. That's it.
