FOR LPIC GRADUATES One of our LPI supporters - Vitor Choi Feitosa from Brazil, sent this nice idea for those of you with a T200 Sony Ericson phone; " I've made a background image suitable for my SonyEricsson T200 phone using the LPI logo and stating "LPIC-1". Other alumni may be interested in it, so I think it could be mentioned on the next LPI newsletter. If you want to see it for yourself: http://ftp.interlegis.gov.br/pub/vchoi/lpic1.gif If you're a happy owner of a T200, enter this address, highlight the image, click "YES" and select "Background": http://ftp.interlegis.gov.br/pub/vchoi/_index.wml " Once again, thanks to you all for making LPI successful - please ensure you participate in mailing lists, conferences and in other ways to let the world know about LPI.
