Okay, this is going to show a bit of my computer illiteracy (at least relative to most of you guys on here), but how do I make a sig?  
I understand the basic concepts of uploading a picture and all that jazz, but where can I get a cheap program that lets me doctor the image or cut n' paste?

You'll need GTK+ (install that first) then the Gnu Image Manipulation Program [aka GIMP]. It's a freebie photoshop clone, and imo is pretty good for the money

Oops!  I'm an iMac guy.  Is there no hope?

Muchas gracias to Mob for the Sig, proving why he's called 'King'.
The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.
