And no, this is not a splash screen that is going to be seen on a regular basis, it is just a matter of personal vengence at this point =) I did however, go and grab the bmp with lynx this time, before I had right-clicked in IE on a w*ndowz box and saved as a bmp, but there was no bettr luck with the bmp I grabbed with lynx.. Is there any way to view a bmp without X installed?
