And I am not very comfortable about you not having a sense of humor. As you can see in my previous email, I drew this picture for fun (I didn't know Alon ended up using it for a cup). It is a humorous picture, a parody, playing on the fact that Hamakor and MSN (part of Microsoft) share an animal that is associated with freedom - but only one of the organization is actually about freedom. Yes, it bashes Microsoft. But it's a joke, not an official press release of Hamakor that "Microsoft must die". I thought that humorous and provocative merchendise were more likely to be bought than "dry" designs, which is why I went in that direction in my design. That being said, Alon can remove this image if he decides it to be a "dishonor". Alon already decided anyway that board members' designs are not elligable (for inclusion? for winning a prize? who cares, I already have my 5-shekel penguin I got for designing the butterfly logo :)). -- Nadav Har'El | Thursday, Oct 14 2004, 30 Tishri 5765 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Strike not only while the iron is hot, http://nadav.harel.org.il |make the iron hot by striking it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
