uh, have y'all seen this page here at lockergnome? http://www.lockergnome.com/lgstore/psindex.html they're now selling pictures of scantily clad ladies. not sure what that has to do with computers. i know that there are probably a lot of pimple-faced geeks out there who go for this kinda stuff, but still ... don't you think that's kinda odd?
just curious. but on the other hand, if this works and is acceptable to increase business, maybe i should start selling pictures of me in my tight leatherpants to increase our female audience and help pay for this site ...
Happy computing!

Does seem a little on the tacky side at best.

I found that quite disturbing since one of them is the wife of the Lockergnome! I certainly wouldn't post pics of my wife like that on the Internet or sell prints and neither would she let me do it! My wife is very pretty mind you but I think they are just asking for trouble from all kind of stalkers, and weirdos. Anyone ever listen to Kim Kommando? It's amazing that people call her show and flirt with her and she is married and just had a kid herself. The Lockergnome thing is quite disturbing!

What will happen is ,someone will purchase the pics and use photoshop to remove the rest of their cloths and then resell the naked pics. I think this might backfire on them.
I must say, all three ladies are wholesomely lovely - nothing lewd. I just wonder how Chris gets any work done in an office environment so loaded with feminine beauty.
In the context of the internet, these photos are innocuous, innocent and quite charming. JMHO.

I had been thinking that with all the makeup that the women there use for the webcam page that it was already close to a soft porn site. This could be thought of as just the next semi-logical step.
Alex, are you sure that you are not just jealous that you don't have a bunch of babes running this site for you?
nope, not jealous. i got my own babe at home, and plenty at work. and when i wear my leather pants to work, i seem to get an increased number of help desk calls from females that day ...
Happy computing!

I got into severe trouble trying to be cute with my:
What do you call a pretty girl at 911? Answer: Visitor
and the statement:
Coming to 911 to find a girl is just like going to a wrecking yard to find a car.
I sincerely apologize to all the persons I offended trying to be cute and do ask for your forgiveness.
I have missed you guys and have been afraid to post now for over a month; not wanting to eat my words.
I gave my daughter in Amarillo, Texas, hell for dope smoking and drugs. She told me she was alway going to be a hippy and smoke pot. I was always critical and pointing fingers, very seldom offering any good suggestions. I do wish I could take that all back too but I can not. I buried her last Friday. She was reaching for help but could not get it. She shot herself in the head.
I am 66 years old and it seems like I never learn.
Thanks for not booting me off and allowing me to post.
Bob, this board is more like a family than I have ever found elsewhere on the net. So like a family, we say things to others that don't come out right, or that get taken in ways other than intended, but whatever offense is taken, is usually short lived. Welcome back
And let me add my sympathies to all the others you will certainly get from the rest of the "family"
Wow Backward Bob that is really sad.It's hard to know the right thing to say. Anything I think to say just seems kind of inadequate especialy coming from someone you don't even know. I truly feel sorry for you it's gotta be really heavy.I have kids of my own and just choke up imagining what you must be feeling.Your in my prayers. Hang in there.
I'm very sorry to hear about your daughter Bob. I attempted to email you when I read it initially, but it came back as undeliverable. I think your PC911 info needs updating. I hope you're doing extra meetings. Hang in there Bob. Be a power of example, please.

Just read the rest of the posts in this thread. My condolences to you Backward Bob. I too have recently gone through the loss of an immediate family member, my Dad. And I empathize. While I don't have any children, I couldn't imagine the pain of having to bury your child. Doesn't seem like the right order of things.
On the other hand, if you think it will do any good, please accept these latest pix of me doing my dance routine that I developed for that new male strip club here in Fremont. It's for seniors only (adults).....If you don't publish these I'll understand...at 70 I'm not the same raving beauty I once was.......

Quoted from the December 19, 2001 issue of Lockergnome Windows Daily...
"This was supposed to be a fun thing for Gnomedex suggested by Lily from Online Tonight (a Gnomedex media sponsor). We agreed because we have had many subscribers request photos of us. One thing led to another... and the three LG girls got to have the experience of being a "model" for one day. It was very fun and the Gnomedex attendees thought that the photos were hilarious. (I like that I look nothing like mine!) The printing minimum was 1000 photos for each picture so we had a lot left over... and people who couldn't attend Gnomedex but heard about them from other Gnomies asked when we were going to put them up for sale on the site. This wasn't Chris's idea... but hopefully these additional sales will cover the cost of the photos. We don't expect to make any money off of them. It wasn't supposed to take away from Lockergnome itself... and I'm sorry if even for one moment - you felt that our focus had shifted. Lockergnome is still about technology... and always will be!"
You think that's bad, I was browsing ThinkGeek last night and came upon their "Action Shots" page. (Where they post pictures of people using their products.) Well, let's just say October 2000 was showing a lot of upper body area.
