He appears different to everybody. > But we are trying for cute and/or cool. As a newbie, long-time computer user, and one who is always speaking to both newcomers and old timers, I can tell you that the "trademark" Chuck image is well accepted and rather eye-catching. Whenever someone asks me what the "cute little devil icon" is, it's a chance for me to advocate FreeBSD and hopefully bring another into our ranks. Just the other day, I was in the process of an upgrade had my 2.2.7 CDs sitting next to my 3.1 CDs and a friend asked me about them. After I explained what FreeBSD was, he looked at each image then said, "The 2.2.7 guy looks cool. Like one of those harmless-looking little dudes that'll kick your ass in a fight. But what's with the 3.1 dude? He looks goofy or something." JFR, I've always thought of FreeBSD as one of the little guys that can match or beat you no matter what you try. -- I don't like four lines!
