As someone else suggested, another image could be >substituted, but then of course the joke is pretty well lost. I don't think that the image of the bunny is all that important. I don't watch TV that much, and I've only seen that commercial once or twice, and I've never found the bunny to be all that humorous. The bunny is a fad. A few years from now, who'll remember it? I think the net-trekking animation idea is neat on its own. It would be especially nice if the animation could be customized...I like the dogcow and ether bunny ideas....how about a fish from one of the screen saver programs? Or even a flying toaster, Santa Claus, a witch riding a broom (for halloween, of course), a turkey for Thanksgiving...all kinds of neat things could be dreamed up. Perhaps someone could even think of a practical use for this type of program? -- / George D.
