Where's the other footprint? I lose sleep at night wondering where it is. ;-) Another minor point: if the daemon climbs down ladders like everyone else does, wouldn't his feet point the other way? Jordan, you mentioned something about the border around the picture in another message. I wonder how it would look if the picture was expanded to the full size of the page, with the slogan ("*One* Giant Step...", not "*A* Giant Step..."!!! :) ) overlaid right on top of the graphic. What to do in that extra space? For the bottom half, just extend the lunar surface some more. For the top half, extend the shadow right down to the daemon's feet. That means the picture will include *just* the tops of his sneakers, standing there in the dirt. I think that would look pretty nifty. Oh, the top slogan will obscure that part, but it can moved to the bottom of the poster with the "FreeBSD 2.1" part. BTW, have we discarded the idea of including the daemon himself along with the lunar horizon, Earth and sun? Nice touch with the camera gridpoints too. Real NASA-like. :) -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
