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.
