Attempt at using the code tag to make your sig.
Code:
  ___ _____    _ ___          _   ___  ___  _____ ___ _____
 / __|__ _\ \ / /_  |   __   / \ |   \|   \|__ __/ __|__ __|
| (__ _| |_\ v / _| |_ |__| / A \| |) | |) |_| || (__  | |
 \___|_____|\_/ |_____|    |_| |_|___/|___/|_____\___| |_|
 
I'll give it a try to put that in my sig, this weekend, then I'll have enough time to do that kind of stuff as it will very likely take me a few hours to do so. :lol:
 
Easy enough to do, copy this and put it in your code:
Code:
[[b][/b]code]  ___ _____    _ ___          _   ___  ___  _____ ___ _____
 / __|__ _\ \ / /_  |   __   / \ |   \|   \|__ __/ __|__ __|
| (__ _| |_\ v / _| |_ |__| / A \| |) | |) |_| || (__  | |
 \___|_____|\_/ |_____|    |_| |_|___/|___/|_____\___| |_|[/[b][/b]code]
And you will get this:
Code:
  ___ _____    _ ___          _   ___  ___  _____ ___ _____
 / __|__ _\ \ / /_  |   __   / \ |   \|   \|__ __/ __|__ __|
| (__ _| |_\ v / _| |_ |__| / A \| |) | |) |_| || (__  | |
 \___|_____|\_/ |_____|    |_| |_|___/|___/|_____\___| |_|

I think this would probably be better for a sig since it would be a little smaller:
Code:
[[b][/b]size=1][[b][/b]code]  ___ _____    _ ___          _   ___  ___  _____ ___ _____
 / __|__ _\ \ / /_  |   __   / \ |   \|   \|__ __/ __|__ __|
| (__ _| |_\ v / _| |_ |__| / A \| |) | |) |_| || (__  | |
 \___|_____|\_/ |_____|    |_| |_|___/|___/|_____\___| |_|
[/[b][/b]code][/[b][/b]size]
It will make this:
Code:
  ___ _____    _ ___          _   ___  ___  _____ ___ _____
 / __|__ _\ \ / /_  |   __   / \ |   \|   \|__ __/ __|__ __|
| (__ _| |_\ v / _| |_ |__| / A \| |) | |) |_| || (__  | |
 \___|_____|\_/ |_____|    |_| |_|___/|___/|_____\___| |_|
 
An attempt at mine:
Bah, mine sucks so I erased it....I can modify, but I get bored when creating from scratch.....so how is a Mac superior? ;)

No problem, now get on ICQ! :D
The reason I suggest the smaller one is because your sig is now 7 lines long...a no-no :)

Well I had some spare time and it was raining outside so nothing better to do and then I created this:

Code:
 ___   _   _    ____ _   _  __  ____  ___ ____ ____ __
|   \/   \| |  | ___| |_| |/  \|    \/ __| ___|__  / /__
|  _/  _  | |__| __||  _  |    |    /\__ | __|  / /     \
|_| |_| |_|____|____|_| |_|\__/|_|\_\|___|____|/_/ \____/

:lol:
I didn't know myself I was that sick.....;)


edit:
I felt the urgent need to redo your thing...
Code:
 ___   _   _    ____ _   _  ___  ____  ___ ____ ____ __
| _ \/ _ \| |  | ___| |_| |/ _ \| __ \/ __| ___|__  / /__
|  _/  _  | |__| __||  _  | (_) |    /\__ | __|  / /  __ \
|_| |_| |_|____|____|_| |_|\___/|_|\_\|___|____|/_/ \____/

When I had a Mac, I never saw it crash once for the five years I had it. It was a great computer, just there were never as many games for it as there were PC's, so i was forced to switch to Windows (God help me, I said the w-word!).
 
Well i used macs in my camp and well...they really really really SUCK!
Im sorry to say this but macs are the worst computers ever.It crashes even more then WINDOWS ME!!!!
 
Hehe! Good to see ya around again phillipe. Of course, we cannot generalize macs as they aren't all the same. The frequency of lockups on macs for me has been high but that might've just been the software I had installed. Who knows.

But come on, more that win ME!?!?!?!
 
I don't like macs either, I use them on my work with complicated software and they crash quite often, if the software would have been written for PCs as well they might crash often too, I don't know about that.
I'm completely used to working with PCs and having to switch to a Mac is quite a pain IMO.
 
Classic mac is a pretty poor OS. OS X is a little better, but they hacked apart the Unix to make it work. Sure they run a little faster (less interoperability baggage), but the result is, errr, less interoperability.

I'm no fan of Windows and massive code bloat, but it generally gets the job done if you throw enough HW at it and keep your system clean. I know very few people who use Linux and Linux only - they always have a Windows box sitting around for certain things.

So, as was said before, a short poll won't answer this question once and for all - it all depends on who uses it, and what for.
 
Up to Windows OSR-2, I'd say that the Wintel chassis is twelve times better. Now Internet Explorer (a bloated waste) is mandatory only because it is required for the "Internet Connection Wizard," Windows Update, the really annoying "enhanced" shell (which causes resource leaks and overall slows down system performance,) the stupid hyperhelp interface/CD-Rom tour, some arcane feature in Outlook, hyperlink support in Word and (for many installation programs) those inane animated characters - all of which I'd be better off without. And that is just Windows 98! Now MS is using its consolidated software to advertise its MSN and Passport service trash, and tethering its flagship OS - a rehashed version of Windows NT - to the existence of MS with onerous "activation" horseshi t. And this isn't combating piracy and cutting costs - price-fixing (PC models) is a common practice within MS, as the DOJ has learned.

Windows XP is one dumbed-down OS. It's emulating the worst elements of the Macintrash desktop.

But I also hate Steve Jobs and would never work for one of his companies (crApple or XTreme,) and dittoheaded Mac advocates. I also hate P4 systems, and Voodoo video cards, and a plethora of other computing stuff. Then again, there is little nowadays that I don't hate ;)

I needed just a few good minutes to rant; I hope you enjoyed this. ;)
