    There is so much unrealized potential here that it's hard to understand how this happened. There should have been ten different stickers for the head and torso so that you could customize it. #legomacbookcover

    This is Blasphemy. The whole point of legos is to build awesome stuff. Putting that sticker on a Mac is like following the directions that came with your legos, and never straying from them. This decal should be on a PC. #legomacbookcover

    @jps1369: Though, to be fair, it's a standard minifigure, so there isn't that much one can do beyond assembling it in the first place. :P #legomacbookcover

    @Kaiser-Machead: It's not standard, it's got that O-Face, also the contrast is so high that you just can't tell that he's wearing an awesome shirt, and his feet are cut off, so you can't see the stilts with wheels that he's wearing. #legomacbookcover

    and this wouldn't fit on a pc, why? i bet it would work on my mini 9. This place has become so mac oriented that i am beginning to lose interest.

    @fuzzymuffins:

    Dude, I loved our atari 400! and I remember my dad sitting for hours transcribing code to record on the tape deck, for some ski-free type game and a drawing prog. I also remember that even in its new state it usually took about 30 tries for that tape deck to actually read the tape.

    That 400 was playable 6 or so years ago, but I think it's been trashed since then.

    He said he wished he could keep it for himself but he had to pay the bills somehow? As an internet marketer, I know this guy could make a ton of money with his internet fame(with out having to fill his sites with ads etc). For example - Ben Heck Membership Tutorial Site where he puts up tutorial videos on a regular basis + has a private forum etc. - 1,000 member EASY and charge $30 a month. Bam $300K+ per year for him. Make it $10/month and more members might work too... A few ebooks on clickbank is another easy 6 figs etc.. I guess he is not as much as a dirty capitalist as I am, but if I were in his position I would be making an easy high 6 fig salary just off his modding legend status. Any other IMer knows this is true.

    @SudeviSparrows:
    And yet it doesn't take an internet marketeer (way to misspell the name of your profession twice by the way) to know that:

    A) Doing this would cause people to percieve him as a sellout and would alienate a sizeable portion of his fanbase.

    B) The sort of people his site attracts wouldn't pay monthly for the kind of service you're describing. $30 is a joke as well. Few people are interested in paying for private forums unless they bring something substantial.

    C) It'd probably be a fair bit of extra workload to provide enough content to justify this service. This would probably detract from both his modding work (which drives his site) as well as the content he posts on the frontpage. Switching all that over to a private pay service would just serve to further alienate his current userbase.

    For a supposed "internet marketeer" you really don't know your target demographic do you?

    I had an Atari 800. I loved my Atari 800. I miss my Atari 800 soooo much... sniff. But one has to admit that the best computer keyboard ever was the original IBM PC clicky key keyboard. Nothing every in the history of computing has come close the the tactile perfection of the IBM PC keyboard. It was like a mini-orgasm with every click... OK, not quite but close.

    @weinerschnitzelboy: The bezel has to be big for the keyboard and the knob.

    Separately, I miss Ballblazer. That game *ruled*.
