The moonshot motif seems suddenly popular. I've now seen two ads. The
British weekly science and technology magazine, "New Scientist" has a
Feb 25th advertisment by British Airways, showing a single footprint of
a businessmans' shoe against a crumbly grey/white soil with the
NASA-style crosshairs and framing cursor marks, on the outside back
cover.
A Marketing guy warns me that we should remove the shuttle from our
advertisments and logo imagery. Apparently a significant fraction of
the American population regards the Shuttle as a waste of money and a
significant fraction of the Rest Of The World regards the Shuttle as
a fairly low technology effort, these days. It was not clear whether
the fraction of the population that thought UNIX & X was pretty neat,
coincided with the fraction that thought moonshots a waste of US Tax
Dollars. My bet is that these are nearly disjoint sets... But we'll
be changing our stuff to reflect some of the new things that our X
Server can do, anyway.
Cheers, JeremyC.
