I thought he looked like a Star Trek: The Next Generation communicator. http://www.nightmarefactory.com/AB172.jpg Duke is supposed to represent the Java technology: http://java.sun.com/features/1999/05/duke_gallery.html When you think about Duke as a person and how the different Sun licenses affect him, Duke is actually an indentured servant of Sun. He can only work with platforms supported by Sun or by licensees. He can only be "shared", as in "you can borrow my servant, but he's really mine" shared. What a lousy way to see the world. What a lousy life for Duke. But I heard Duke has long lost relatives around the world. Relatives that were free. Free to work with different platforms than those supported by Sun or its licensees. Free to be given, not just "shared", without restriction. Free to grow with ideas different than Sun's. Free ... But maybe that's just rumor ... or is it? :-D PJ Cabrera < pjcabrera at snapplatform dot org > http://snapplatform.org SNAP Platform - The only totally open source integrated Java Dev Environment http://snap.sourceforge.net SNAPPIX - Live Linux CD Distro with SNAP Platform pre-installed
