We already had a thread about our nicknames, but what about our avatars? Sometimes it's rather difficult so see.

My main avatar is as you can see the Stargate which leads to new worlds to make new experiences. And its an invitation for a walk to the Other Side, you can see whats waiting behind... And you won't go back for sure

My icon (on the left side) was in former times only the top left quarter of my main avatar. After the icons were introduced in the forum I tried to reduce my main avatar, but would be too small. So I decided to use some what's more related to this forum: a Leopard. But I'm used to have a blue icon, so I recolored it. This is the original:

Author Update #1 @naquaada 2008-06-30

Lawless Computers

Near to my friend there's a computer shop called 'Pleitevogel' translated it's like 'Failure bird'. But that's no fun name, that's their real name. But these guys have no doubt of computers at all...

Author Update #2 @naquaada 2008-07-02

I have all 10 Seasons in English + German + Extras on harddisk = 170 GByte. I have to burn this stuff!

Author Update #3 @naquaada 2008-07-02

It's all in DivX format, one epsiode is about 300 - 400 MB in size. It's still enough, I need 21 DL-DVDs to burn this down.

Field Note #2 @Taisto 2008-07-01

Well, mine presents the Tau'ri symbol. Naquuada should know it - for others, it`s the symbol of earth used in the StarGate address system

Field Note #3 @Voyn1x 2008-07-01

Mine comes from my Xbox 360 Gamercard, a Cylon from my fav show Battlestar Galactica.

@Taisto, i'm also a huge fan of SG1. I've seen every episode, all 10 seasons plus the made for tv movie. Eagerly awaiting the next one which I believe is due out later this year!

Field Note #4 @Taisto 2008-07-01

ok, a little off-topic - if someone`s offenced, pls delete it

[cite] naquaada:I have all 10 Seasons in English + German + Extras on harddisk = 170 GByte. I have to burn this stuff!

Wait... You have all 10 seasons + extras and it's ONLY 170GB? ( a single episode in HD runs ~7.5GB here - I now have just over 2TB worth of hard drive storage in 3 HTPC's and a "file server" - but, I can't do SDTV or DivX anymore...) sorry... that's even further off-topic...

Field Note #6 @jefflo 2008-12-06

My avatar's a pie chart of music I've listened to in the past month.
