While living in Hungary, I happened upon a music store and decided to check out the cool European Amps and rare old instruments. In their window sat this sign, and thought it was cool. Almost asked if I could purchase it from them, but felt that it would be better to have it stay there for the sake of advertisement. I should have moved the plant though...

I made my avatar myself after messing around in Ps.
It's a slight ripoff from the accounts icon in the system prefs :p

Did the Accounts pref pane have a baby with the Energy Saver pref pane? ;)

It suits my general demeanor.

Although the last one I used was better suited to my handle.

I was lazy and just chose a logo from the plethora of available avatars on this site. So I chose the nice shiny red apple. One, because this is a Mac site and two, I figured the red apple wouldn't be as popular as the blue and white ones and I can easily spot my posts. :Smirk:

...and alphabetically...I only got halfway thru the "B's" in the membership list (thru page 55 of 635 pages of members)...so I'm sure there are many more "Red Apple" avatars!;)

- Nick

p.s. But...many of the members I listed are very inactive...so your Red Apple avatar will stand out pretty easily.:)

I use to change my avatar all the time. I should really start again. Then again, it's an election year and I could get myself into trouble doing that... ;)

Mine has been my trusty iBook G4 and has been for years. I changed it for a while then came back to the good old iBook Avatar after an animal threw up all over the poor iBook and shorted out the logic board. Got a new board for $25 and it's like new again!

Be careful XJ! :D Grin

Schweb kept telling everyone I was Richard Simmons! I could only fight it for so long, then I eventually just embraced it. But it makes every post exciting, awkward, or just plain scary.

Sage iMac G3. I love the iMac G3, and I did have it set as the Indigo for a while, but it seemed that that was pretty common so I decided Sage would be good. It's a bit of an "oddball" color as far as G3's go. :p

Found myself doodling over coffee one drowsy morning. I like the Apple logo but was too lazy to try to figure out how to make something my own. Noticed a moon photo I had taken and found myself crudely editing it. Not happy with it, so it will change. Wanted something to find my own posts.

Update: this thread got me thinking so I changed the avatar from the moon-apple to this fireworks photo I took a few years ago. Why? Because I like it, has positive look to it I think, fun. Fits with my Apple experience (so far).

Rob and I were trying to get Nick to change his avatar, and Rob proposed this. I loved it and took it for mine.
