Software Update

[TireSmoker]

Added some customization. That's the piston from my first blown up 400 in the pre-Tiresmoke era. 1999, I think. The enormous piston is a TRW piston for an earth mover given to me by Dorothy Skowrunski when I worked at TRW Shared Services. I got some 3.2 Quattro badges to highlight the AMD 3.2GHz quad-core processor, and topped it with a vintage Hot Wheels Camaro from my personal childhood collection, as well as some Matchbox cars that I figured were worth finally removing from the packaging for this cause.

Nice - we need a "cowl induction" emblem to put under the hole where the CD drive would go.

Now it's gearhead approved. Well done!

What do you think about a TireSmoke logo? Maybe over the Dell badge or anywhere else? I can probably help with that if you like the idea.

[TireSmoker]

If you can whip something up, I'm more than happy to stick it on there.

What is the diameter of the badge? Is it flat or convex?

[TireSmoker]

1.125" and slightly convex.

Thanks, Dave. I'll get my best people on it.

There is a new Dark mode if you like that kind of thing (I do) -- go to your username in the upper right, click User Control Panel, click the Board Preferences tab, and change the My Board Style setting to "prosilver_dark"

I just noticed I don't have an avatar anymore not sure if what I used before is not support by the upgrade?

[TireSmoker]

Actually, I think that existed prior to the upgrade. I'd just try re uploading your avatar. There are certain size limitations that I cant remember right now, though.
