I like it... but...  I've always pictured the otter on its back.

My son drew one like that, lounging on the bottom of the cygwin logo,
playing with the "arrow" in the center, like a fish.  He did it on poor
quality paper in pencil and we could never get a scan that we liked.

Then he got a girlfriend, so...

So, in true open source fashion, I'm saying "Thanks!  It really is great!
Would you mind...?"

Thanks for the birthday wishes, too.
