Well, where I worked last summer I named the two laserwriters Bogart and Becall. I even found some digitized pictures of them and pasted them to the LWs. My co-workers found this amusing. However, when I put startup screens and sounds on all the macs around the office one morning (these people were mac neophytes, they had no clue how to do this or how to stop it) they flipped. They loved it. Well, they did. The boss didn't. When I finally left to return up here to college, the boss gruffly asked me to make sure I removed that "noise" ASAP. I was so tempted to leave them... no one there knew how to fix it... alas, level headedness prevailed... but I always wondered what would have happened... -Andy :-) :-) :-) Andy J.
