Not one of you people ever mentioned serving in the US Armed Forces.

I picked this one because of that, 9/11/01 and because it was not available before.

Support for USA after 911.

I served in The Corps during NAM, but that had nothing to do with it.

I didn't care much for it.

This being a computer hardware forum, I felt like such a noob that I felt and still feel like a blindfolded person.


But, I probably look more like that grey haired biker dude. me

mostly because of Calvin and Hobbes' hilarious strips involving snowmen. Oddly enough, I've never participated in the building of a snowman :confused:

I chose this avatar for the obvious reason - to show my patriotism after the events of 9-11-2001
I intend to keep this avatar until the one year anniversary of that tragic day.

i picked the alien since it reminded me of alienware and how cool their own alien logo looks. i wish i could find a bezel sticker of alienware so i can put on my wannabe area51 desktop.

Frankly, I couldn't make up my mind. I chose the ribbon in rememberance of those who died.
