The only good use for a mac...

At least an old one. I love my own mac... Really! :)

I find it a bit weird that a cheesey pic like this one gets to be my most viewed shot! The spectacle is more important than the quality. Oh well.

And in case anyone asks, it's not mine. I saw it in Te Atatu in Auckland.

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

Awesome ! You should remove the paint from the side panels (on the inside) and stencil the 5 5 sidways to the apple logo (like below)

If you add this to the TUAW.com "Rig of the Day" group, it'd be a ringer (I should know...I'm the guy who selects them).

@frogsthatmoo:

I think it did not come out as you intended because you used the space bar for multiple spaces. In html only one of the spaces will appear unless you force the others. To do multiple spaces in html type "&nbsp" with no quotes as many times as you want a space. (This however, does not appear to work with flickr comments.)

Nice mailbox by the way - if only we had those types in the UK :)

If we had mailboxes like that in the UK the mail would always be wet when it rains! (so about 360 days of the year!)

In a few years you might do this with a G5, then it could read "G55" on the side. Umm. =)

Wonder what the mail carrier thinks when he dumps AOL CDs in there? Or are they free from that scourge in NZ?

This one is very interesting, because It receives both regular mail and also emails ... LoL

The only problem will occur when you try to retrieve your emails on a rainy day ... There will be also some privacy issues when he starts visiting porn chats...

i'm not suprised. the picture of me and my friends dressed up as an iPod ad, Steve Jobs and a nano is my most viewed picture. Flickr is funny like that.

I think I will go home and make a planter or something out of my old iMac.

I really want to go buy a new intel iMac, but now it's for a totally different reason.

In case you're wondering... I found you listed on Look At This... (Thursday, June 1st - computer section) which takes a lot of hits a day. And we'll see just how much "some html is okay" means. Hopefully enough. :)

glad you used a MAC for the mailbox... because if you used a PC you might get a bug or virus on your hand each day reaching in to get your mail. LOL
