Garish yellow smileys are so AOL... What's _really_ cool is the smileys in gmail's new embedded IM client -- they look like un-adorned text smileys ... but then a second or so after showing up, they slowly _rotate_ to a vertical orientation! They're understated and cool at the same time, very google. The "slowly rotate into position" part probably doesn't make much sense with mail (and is harder to implement). However I really like smileys that basically look like the text version (no colors, no "border" around the face) but in a vertical orientation. :-| -Miles -- If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten.
