Whatever. I just wanted to make the point that artwork does not appear out
of blue sky. And good ideas for artwork are very hard to come by. One needs

NB: my all-time favorite is the 2.1-cover that never made it.
The one with "A giant step for PCs" and the Apollo moonlander, the
sneaker footprint and the shadow of beastie. I only have a hardcopy, if
anyone still has the file I'd sure like a copy.
