I just realised this morning, for no apparent reason - that I have been posting on MacNN for the last 5 years of my life. (PurpleGiant + thePurpleGiant) That's a bloody long time.
So I thought back - I'm 20 now. I would have been 15 then. Would have been using a brand new PowerBook G3, OS 8.5 I think I was running. How exciting you all must be thinking.
I'm sure there have been people around for the longer than me, and who post more than my pitiful 1.77 posts per day. So let's see the change. Post a picture of yourself from whenever you joined here, and another picture of you today. Some may have gone bald in that time, some may have grown pubes. I think it will be interesting. You may disagree. We'll soon find out....
Me in late 1999, age 15:
Me in late 2004, age 20:
Your turn.

Positively. I know, I'm a freak. One day I was a kid. Then I had two years of extreme ugliness (13-14) and I popped out looking 30. Strange but true. On with the pictures people!

I've only been registered here for a little over a year. I don't think I've changed that much in that period.
|
What it is?!

I'd play, except posting pictures requires me to actually take time out of my causal forum sarcasm and put work into a post.

I've only been on here for about 3 years, and aside from a few gray hairs beginning to show on the sides of my head, there's not much different.
