I thought, uh, I'd try and make the logo a bit more specialized with
the given release.  So, I, uh, apparently shot it.  At least that's
what it looks like.  xpm and lame-wrong-way-to-do-things patch appended.

I probably didn't state well enough what those dots are.  They are in
fact the real Oort cloud.

It seems that Pterodactyl is showing through, here (in the colors).
Why did you change the color of the gnu?

Um, it shouldn't have changed the color.  The color assignments should
still be done by the gnus code not the xpm file.  Did you look at it
by hand or did you actually run gnus?  (remember that gnus actually
changes the colors of the xpm file at run time, so the actual xpm file
doesn't match the current run-time colors).

Ah.  Now I see.  I just hit `b' on your message.  No, I didn't run
Gnus.

I like your new logo!

Heh... I'd rather my Gnus without that :-)
You see... How can I show the girls the nice Gnus if they'll start
asking about all that 'Oort' above it? :-))

I think they'll like more the story about the coffee cup being dropped
while the drwaing was being made... I'll come up with something... :-)

(Who's Jan Hendrik? He did the drawing?)

I see...

Maybe, then, we could add some more colors instead of removing Oort
from the picture... Make it different from the rest of the picture
would help knowing that it is a separate thing.

Jan Hendrik Oort, the Oort Cloud was named after him, and the picture
is of the Oort Cloud.

I don't think so.  He couldn't even spell his name right.

It has an uncanny resemblance to a gnu in snowy weather, which happens
to be rather appropriate (at least in the northern hemisphere).
Perhaps we can animate it to snow slowly during startup. :-)

Well, it is; it's just very, very slow.

Oh, how I wish that it was cold here too... We're having more that 30°
celsius everyday... I can't go to the beach every weekend 'cause it's
a little bit far from here (2 hours by car, but the fuel is a lot
expensive here).

Seeing snow everytime I enter Gnus will make me start it more
often... nowadays I start it when I log in and... well... as I usually
don't log out, it be there... :-)
