	To anyone at Commodore who's watching:

	You realize, of course, that two people have already done this.
Bryce Nesbitt (who you subsequently hired), and Ben Fuller, author of
Project D.

	I'm currently using the Fuller-hacked Kickstart.  It's a
multi-colored checkmark on a white background.  Two Boing balls are bouncing
on the top of the left side of the checkmark.  The legend reads:  "We've got
balls!  Amiga Kickstart 1.3.  Please insert Workbench."

	So.  Two people have made it fit into that tiny space.  I'm sure Jez
San could cram something nifty in there, too.  I know this isn't a
democracy, but I vote that you reconsider.
