I tried, but the problem is that one can attach pictures directly to replies, but not to initial status updates. In fact, the photo I eventually attached was taken with the intent of attachment to the initial status!
LOL I didn't even see the photo as I wasn't looking at your profile page. I see it now, though! I think we need a "Pets of AtariAge" thread if one doesn't already exist.
For some reason they never gain traction. I tried making one a few months ago and it died, and even then someone pointed out there were one or two before that!
