Really, no PNG avatars?

Didn't someone here have a Flash (.swf) avatar?... Or was that just a very slick animated Gif?

I think your new avatar is cool simX. I just wish I knew what Rendezvous was But I am sure I will find out in a few days anyway. Or I could simply go to apple's website and find out. But I am lazy.

I didn't know either so I went an looked. Here is what I found:

Rendezvous
Rendezvous makes the automatic discovery of available computer services possible on standard Internet Protocol networks. Based on ZeroConf and the IP standard DNS service, Rendezvous lets you connect to such networks without having to fiddle with settings. You can connect your computers and peripherals together however you like — wirelessly over AirPort and by physical connections such as FireWire or Ethernet. Additionally, Rendezvous provides a service-centric view of the network, so you can quickly tell what’s available.

I agree with everyone else - the avatar is the visual shortcut to personality. In a month or two I'd probably get used to it, but with the old avatar, it was like a wax seal on communications - we knew who it came from. Now with this rendez-vous thang, I find myself (silly I know) not trusting the words written next to it as much.

Like I said, in a while that'll change, but it's the BB equivilant of having a brain transplant into a new body. We know that the words come from the same mind, but try telling that to my subconcious.

Plus you had one of the better avatars.

Change = bad

Bernie :o)

You -should- be able to name a small animated .swf as .gif and IE just kinda goes with the flow...

I'm trying to work up a quick vector formatted one so I can try some animation... but I can't figure out the middle... wth is that?

It looks like a double quote... or a telephone... or something...

On Apple's site it looks like a bunch of little aqua balls...

I hate those little aqua balls... so difficult to render with vector based tools without looking like crap...

How's this?

Thanks for the exercise

.dev.lqd: I must say yours looks a whole lot better than mine, especially with the little animation. Now just make it transparent and you'll be set. You can take it if you want, because mine totally sucks and I've changed back to the old one again.
