Almost as bad as the infamous tilted rectangle logo of CMU for which they paid dearly. Ah, but then again I work for a company with one of the slickest logos going.... About two years ago I saw a Mercedes with the license plate "NEXT INC" (I think that's what it was) driving on Page Mill near the NeXT building. Anyone know if it's Jobs that has that plate? -- Scott Wilson arpa: swilson@sun.com Sun Microsystems uucp: ...!sun!swilson Mt. View, CA
