·· Actually before the Wallpaper came out, I tried some of the images we have like that.· I find it hard to see the icons with such sharply contrasting colors in an image.· That's why I'm glad we have these:
Can you do a really cute girl holding a pair of PDB's in each hand covering up uh certain things ? Sorry if I offend anyone but I'm really bored today with radio and processor designs and my mind is wandering on other things. But really that wouldn't be such a bad piece of wallpaper would it ?

I can't share some of the events that used to happen in the early Parallax office, but a few are fair game.

Maybe a "calendar" girl <WHACK!!! Slapped with political correctness> er.... person
holding a new Parallax product??? Yeah, why not an annual calendar like the ones
they hawk at the kiosks in the malls? The Parallax calendar would go right after the
"Queen" calendar but before the Penquin and Puppy calendars.
Sorry, it's been weird today. <Yeah, I'm not really sorry either :->
Shut up! No!!
Why you.... grrr.....
YikES! The guys with the white suit are coming back. Later!

I know where you are coming from, politically correct is really getting me down. I guess that if you could do it then you'll also need to have a version available for the girls also, otherwise HR wouldn't even touch the idea. Oh well it's probably only a dream anyway.
