Hmm, obviously a couple of minor cultural differences. Comments inline.

No kidding, the art on the ciscopress books doesn't do networkers any
justice at all. If nothing else, they should draw the guy on the copvers
so
he fits the techy demographic better: He should have some form of facial
hair, JMcL: Facial hair isn't so popular around here - can't say I was
specifically checking, but I can't remember too many beards at Networkers,
and not many hairy upper lips either. Receding hairlines, however, are a
different matter - I notice that not many of the CiscoPress guys suffer
from that though /JMcL, he should be slightly overweight, JMcL: Only
slightly. A lot of networkers around here are nerdy but fit - perhaps
from lugging around those heavy routers? /JMcL
he should have a cigarette in one hand JMcL: In the workplace? You've got
to be kidding. Serious social (and often legal) faux pas. /JMcL and
coffee (or mountain dew) in the other JMcL: or Coke (the drink, not the
drug :-). I'm abnormal - I drink strong black tea. /JMcL, and there's no
way he should be wearing a tie, especially while trying to troubleshoot a
connectivity problem. (Possible exception: the "Ties Suck" tie on
thinkgeek.com) JMcL: Agreed, unless it's to be used as an emergency strap
for securing equipment in place. /JMcL
As for the women on the covers, they should somehow be depicted as
presenting the solution for whatever problem the guy is working on, with
the
alpha male stubbornly ignoring them.
JMcL: Naturally! Getting back (sort of) on the original thread, I notice
that the (rare) woman on the cover of Priscilla's TDND is the only one
RTFM'ing. I'll bet she comes up with a working solution first ;-) I have
a sneaky suspicion that the bloke at the laptop is about to start drawing
on the screen with his felt-tip pen, but at least he doesn't have a tie.
/JMcL
(Wonder how many flames I'll get for this one?)
JMcL: probably fewer than me! /JMcL
Cheers,
Hal

Oh good, I am *so* sick of all those chunky men with rolled-up sleeves on
the Cisco Press books. Priscilla - even a digitised and modified version
- has *got* to be better. ;-)
(Priscilla's going to be doing a lot of paying out...)

For a real insight into Priscilla, take a look at her interview with
Fabio at www.routergod.com. I hear that in addition to her network
design work and training she's also doing some modeling for book covers
on the side. ;-)
(I know I'm going to pay for that later....)

LOL. Hey Priscilla, who are you anyways ;-) What was the name of that
book
you authored?
