Oh, right, on the speedometer. I thought the meant the back wall itself. Well, I guess the justification is that it's an IBM product :). Sure, they're bending the rules a bit in the interest of commerce, but this is actually a good illustration of my proposal that MDKsoft publish a definitive statement of what they won't do. Because Wimbledon has long said that it will not accept advertising, even though it now obviously wants to all it can do is comparatively minor rule-bending like this. So you see the odd corporate logo while watching - on the speedo, on the drinks fridge, whatever - but because they're constrained from breaking the original commitment entirely it's nowhere near as bad as the other tournaments, with advertisers' logos draped all over the backdrops, the stands and everywhere else... -- adamw
