I have quite been humbled by my inability to express myself as eloquently as some of the people discussing this thread. I think I'm just tired of losing a little bit of freedom each day to some small but vocal group of zealots. No matter how insignificant it is still a loss. If someone chooses not to try the OS due to the mascot then they miss out on an excellent OS and we lose what could potentially be a staunch supporter. Everyone looses. My opinion of this dilemma is that I do not support change in order to attract the small group of people who share this alternative view point. I do not consider these people wrong, stupid or any other derogatory term but different. Through their decision I guess we kind of agree to disagree. Isn't this how the whole world gets along with each other? Kevin _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
