I like Beastie and the Mozilla dinosaur name?). I think that Beasties has the potential to be full of character - he could have a special move of prodding with his pitch fork. Another good one could be a GNU based character, although obviously you would want a more appropriate name. He'd look interesting from behind with his big horns. -- - Charlie Charles Goodwin <ch...@ve...> Online @ www.charlietech.com |
