I like the shoe idea. Perhaps we could get the other *BSD denominations to cooperate with us on it using different colors? I have also thought for a while about trying to modify the 'deamon' with an angel. You know, the kind of thing that sat on Sylvester's right and left shoulder as he decided to eat Tweety or not. There could be the traditional daemon logo and a more digestable (at least stateside) angel. I'm trying to put together some systems for my church and I have wonders as to how well the little red guy is going to go over. And the processes that run without user interaction might well be called guardian angels. Certainly I am not the first to have thought of any of this! --gill Remember?
