Perhaps you should consider coming up with a memorable (colorful!) glyph of
your own. There are lots of ideas that might be good for a chuckle at
Apple's expense (a worm, a core, etc.), but that's not what I mean; there
is no point in antagonizing the folks with the checkbooks! Still, your
present B&W apple effectively says (1) this environment brought to you
courtesy of Apple, and (2) we can't really do color quite as well as the
`real thing'. Wouldn't it be better to say (1) hey, look again, we're
Ardi, and (2) we can do everything they can, so don't worry, your data is
in good hands?
Of course, I'd love it if the glyph you chose (or your startup screen, or
_something_) gave NeXT some free publicity, since that is where you started.
But I've nagged enough on that thread lately, and I'm satisfied that you've
heard me. Waiting for 1.99n with a patient smile on my face....
