you people are starting to scare me....this is like a cabin fever, but for chief delphi....

Re: pic: Woohoo! I've got an ipod!
 

Now the question has become, Why was andy up so late?

Re: pic: Woohoo! I've got an ipod!
 

If you really want to prove it, shoot a short video clip in which you rotate the iPod side to side, turn it over in your hand, pass your hand over it, etc.

Andy was Up till 2 o'clock in the morning helping me with something... and i am very sure that he wouldnt be able to work on photoshop when he was helping me out...

*checks birth certificate* oh whoa im under 25... in that case yea i know who your talkin about

Re: pic: Woohoo! I've got an ipod!
 

Okay, just to clear things up a bit.

Steve Wozniak = Co-Founder of Apple Computers
Steve W = Steve Warren, FIRST Announcer, Team 188 Mentor, Karthik's Arch Nemesis

Despite the fact that our Steve W has plenty of delusions of grandeur, even he has yet to claim the founding of Apple.

Oh yeah, that's what happens when I think too late. :yikes:

Re: pic: Woohoo! I've got an ipod!
 

Wow the smaller one looks PSed but this high-res one looks pretty darn real. Why dont you post a new picture of the ipod from a different angle and better lighting.

Re: pic: Woohoo! I've got an ipod!
 

I too was confused, and had to go back and see what I said about Steve W (from Canada)

Re: pic: Woohoo! I've got an ipod!
 

Someone would have to be very good at PS to get the lettering to look like that. Altho depending on how it was engraved(laser etched or really engraved) it would leave different markings and that looks like something a cnc machine or something of the like would probably etch because of the way the letters start and end.

so then there is your answer, Hedi Did it, her and her crazy PS pictures of me as an Oompa Loompa
:p

-Big Mike
Im not afraid of Hedi

Re: pic: Woohoo! I've got an ipod!
 

Obviously, because it would be much harder to get the "engraving" to match the new angle. :p

I know who Perry Mason is, its been a while. I'm 21

"It is definitely fake!"
 

Okay... so now that the "fun" has ended, and this thread has died down a little, I guess I can reveal the truth...
(You have no idea how funny this was for me).

It's MY iPod.
I decided to order one of the new G4 iPods.
When I saw the free engraving offer, I was just going to put my name, but someone suggested putting my new "catchphrase" ;), and I couldn't resist.

• Yes, it's real.
• The engraving, is real.
• The iPod, is real.
• Yes, that picture was photoshopped. -- I didn't want my serial number posted.
• I also used Photoshop (yes, at 1AM) to crop the picture, shrink it and send it to Andy.

Andy graciously jumped right into this little prank. As some of you know, I do things like this from time to time. I hope you all had as much fun as I did. ;)
At least, I only do this stuff in the summer, right? ;)

Ohh, one more thing. Those of you who "knew" it was fake, and cited all these various reasons (I'm looking at you DJ, silly-silly DJ.) are just too clever for your own good (ha).

Sometimes, the most obvious solution is the right one.


Go back to your regularly scheduled viewing.

PS - Andy Baker is the man. But you already knew that.
