"did i miss something here??"

Possibly. :-)

Before this gets out of hand, I would like to say that I have nothing to do
with Caldera etc.. and I have no idea if the next release will support loading
screens.

I just hacked together a little something for my own use (and anyone else who
wants it) because I thought a loading screen would be nice.

Now.. to refresh your memories, on 24th Jan, Dj Delorie spake thus:

"For a logo, I was thinking it should be a sleek, chrome-plated, jet
 powered, highly futuristic brontosaurus."

As I had just got a working loading-screen, I thought it might be a decent
tribute to this idea, if I could get hold of such a picture.


On our university server is a collection of scanned images by an artist known
as Sorayama Hajime, who appears to specialise in drawing robotic animals.
If anyone wants some inspiration, this is it!

However, they are inside the firewall.  I can send some (or all of these) by
mail if anyone really wants to see them.  I have _no idea_ about the copyright.

We hope!
Even if all else fails, I will make my kit available, and any (non-copyright)
logos.
