Unix License Plate

I used to have "PCUNIX" in Massachusetts, but you can get a fake New Hampshire tag at The Open Group

It might seem a little strange to choose that "Live free or die" motto. Yeah, there is FreeBSD, but generally Unix hasn't been anything close to free. However, this is a historical reproduction: The History of the UNIX License Plate

Some other plates: 12 Awesome Unix Custom License Plates.

See Ships that pass in the night also.

Hey Tony, how about posting a picture of your car with the plate?

You are going to laugh, but I don't own a digital camera. I don't even think we have a film camera any more!

We never were very interested in pictures and after our kids grew up we hardly ever took any..

I'll ask someone else to snap one :-)

That almost makes two of us -- but I do have a film camera which gets a bit of use. If I need an electronic rendition of a photo I just scan the print. <Smile>

I just bought an inexpensive ($125.00) digital camera last night. Finally got good enough and cheap enough for me.. so here's the picture (not that I really know how to use this thing yet).

You're ahead of me. Still no digital camera here. Long live 35mm film!

It was only last year that I finally understood how to *load* our film camera. I still have no clue about the rest of it and am always screwing it up. My wife and I depend on our children for camera work. In turn, they depend upon me for lifting heavy furniture and upon their mother for advice on anything but cameras.

As I will have to give up lifting heavy furniture eventually, at some point my children's husbands will have to find someone else with muscles to be at the other end of the object.

My wife and I depend on our children for camera work.

And who took the photos of the kids when they were little? You did take photos for posterity, no?

My sisters and parents, her sisters and parents.. the two of us can push the button if necessary, but we usually didn't.. and as the kids got older, we made them do it. We just did not get along with cameras.

We just did not get along with cameras.

I fully understand. I don't get along with cameras, either -- when I'm the subject. There are very few pictures of me at any stage of my life in existence. My wife has done her best to try to photograph me at various times but has mostly failed when I knew she was wielding a camera.
