I really can't say how happy I am.

The forum is still here for the most part.
It's like you lose your home then some person on the street takes your hand, opens a door, and everyones still there.

I've found the past year amazing, the launches, the giving to Rain and Ralph, the survival of the forum.

Thanks all, and merry christmas.

BTW, the tree above is ours. It was actually a branch of a very very very large tree that fell over, this branch jetted up from it.

Edit: I turned the tree for you, I hope you don't mind. rgG

Just because it has two clutches, shifts faster, uses a torque converter or has near-infinite gear ratios, requires less driver intervention and is more efficient doesn't make it better in my opinion.

Thank you, Chip!
Very insightful about home...

why do you put your tree on the wall? why don't you read some basics about taking pictures? Oh year, Merry Christmas!

Very nice tree Chip. I just turned my 12" iBook on its side and it looked fine.

If that is just a branch, I'm glad the whole tree didn't fall on your house. Great way to recycle, too.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, too!

Ouch! I strained my neck looking at the pic, but I thought it would work better than turning my monitor sideways. Who should I bill for my chiropractic?

Merry Christmas and a Mac-tastic New Year!!!

cheers,

Have a Merry Christmas microchip.

You are definitely an asset on the forum. I feel like we are watching you grow up here. You would be missed if you weren't here. Who would tell us what phone to buy?

WTF?

It's right side up?

"So what are we gonna do with the hacked off part of the tree?"

"It'll make a great mini-tree. We'll sell it to charity. That's what Christmas is all about."

Don't ask who the bell's for, dude. It's you.

The funny thing is...we know what Chip's tree looks like - but Chip could be any random 15-16 year old on the street and we would not know him. Weird.

I think the same about all of you forumers.

Whenever i meet a new mac user, I think they are from a forum I know.

I feel pretty...

More proof that the camera phone should really be called a phone camera.

Do the tree a favor--take another pic with a real camera (on a tripod) and turn off the boob-tube.

AND MERRY CHRISTMAS YA BIG SOFTY
