    i've no way of doing it. i have got a camera, but i can't find the driver CD to install it. and, i did have a scan of my driving licence, but i lost that, i did put it up in the other thread for a day or so. i'm not bothered seeing what people look like anyway. if we all saw what each other looked like, we might not ever come back here :D although, your pictures are very good :)

    You are allowed to guess two (2) times.

    avatar

    An image you select or create to represent yourself to the other party in a chat or instant messaging (IM) session. An avatar is a caricature, not a realistic photo and can be a simple image or a bizarre fantasy figure. Avatar is a Sanskrit word that means the incarnation of a god on earth, and this usage of the term came from the gaming and 3D chat worlds.

    A graphical image of a user, such as used in graphical real-time Chat applications, or, a graphical personification of a computer or a computer process, intended to make the computing or network environment a more friendly place.

    av·a·tar ( av ' ?-tär ' ) n. The incarnation of a Hindu deity, especially Vishnu, in human or animal form.

    ******************


    Avatars are much more fun..unless you are posting your CV or looking for a date. :D Many of the threads here in the 10 F center around those Avatar and that is one way how people get to know each other..the real personal that is..and in that case a picture is not really 'worth a thousand words' when it is a personal photo.

    You found that out with your other Avatar..it let you express yourself and your thought..a personal photo can not do that.

    There is board software that allows members to place a Photo in their Proflie and many do.

    I'm bluer than blue. :'(

    The mystery of the Avatars forever gone. :'(:'(

    Now we know every detail about those lil "masks" we like to choose...:'(:'(:'(

    Where is the exciting "unknown"...where the nostalgia ?? :'(:'(:'(:'(


    It's like the scientists explaining all the glory details about the chemicals that makes us like...love...and lust.
    HOW ROMANTIC IS THAT ?!! :doubt: :'(:'(

    *sigh*

    Oh well.



    Heck...all is ruined now :D and I like being a bizarre fantasy creature every now and then !!
    Thanks PRIMROSE for the very educational report !! :-*

    :D:D

    A Banana bender with case of Darwin stubbies does not have a Buckley's Chance with the beach babes, :D but with a case of XXXX you would be Dead as a dead dingo's donga. ;) *puppy*

    No fair Peachy,

    You're not supposed to sneak gowns out of big bucks closet although the red one matches his pretty eye the best. The green one matches his other eye!

    Great idea.... but to tell you I really look similar to the picture I post here, especially if I have a new hair cut and taken shower everyday. But I'm shy I didn't like to be popular like Bill Gates, :p Just a simple guy, but "advanced" inside... oohh my gosh we are many. :D
