Some time ago I saw Toy Story for the first time and noticed that Buzz Lightyear has a symbol similar to the Debian swirl in his jaw. It can be seen in these pictures: http://www.bugkid.com/toystory/pictures/011.jpg http://allearsnet.com/tp/mk/buzz7.jpg Knowing the close relation between Debian and Toy Story, it seems likely this was a source of inspiration for the swirl artist. -- Niklas Vainio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
