Hermano and Howard,

Yes, I know that.  I want to modify the .gif file but she won't fly.  Maybe the
master Ed Schroder could help us?  Ed could put up some different start up
screens at his site that would work.

I think that the start up screen is cute but it has a bright white background
that flickers on most computers.

BTW  I use the Rebel Tiger "Roar" file as a start up for Windows and have Lucy
Lawless "Xena" dressed up in tiger skin as a background. Now that would be great
for the Rebel Tiger intro.
