For such a logo one might use a green sneaker/tennis shoe. Hightops with a round patch logo at the ankle. This should take care of most Politically Correct issues. While the rest of us know its still the same old traditional BSD daemon, only a close up. :-) Then again, maybe we'll have to worry somewhere the number of laces on the shoe has deadly ramifications. And whether it was tied left over right first, or right over left. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
