Apologies guys, i thought i had deleted it but evidently not.
I have just seen it myself, actually rather scary being confronted with that large a llama in the morning!

MachuMan, please do trim your avatar. It is a pretty cool image, admittedly, but it's waaaay too large and eats up bandwidth too. Smallify it

ManchuMan - that's a great picture, but it's still way bigger than 60x60 pixels.
Trouble is, it pushes all the text over to a narrow column on the right of the browser window, making it rather more difficult to read.

Any chance you could shrink it a bit ?

Yup thats about it. Rather primitive and ugly. Sorry I just don't like it. We all have our own preferences.

In the place where you linked the avatar it states: "its width can be no greater than 60 pixels, the height no greater than 60 pixels, and the file size no more than 6 KB."
This is obviously bigger than 60x60

Totally OT here but I use OS X on my desktop and CLI/Web on my *nix boxes. If I had to choose it would be Gnome, but please, please get something better than Nautilus as a file manager.

Try ELive, a live distribution based on Knoppix with E17 as the default WM. I had a try of it when I put it on my shop, very nice, but I didn't fancy the feel of it myself.

yeah i looked at some screen shots and E17 does look good, much better than the dodgy uk boy band of the same name. I hope that doesnt put people off! though 'stay now' wasnt to bad if i remember?
Anyway, thank you erin, fellow 'south of the riverer'
