97689 2002-11-11 04:11:00 It's basically the logo for MSN / Hotmail.

Apparently there was a big row in New York over the excessive advertising going on with the 'MSN Butterfly'.

I think The Register did a story on it... oh yeah, here it is (www.theregister.co.uk)

97693 2002-11-11 19:24:00 BTW - I fixed Jemy_X's link above - you'd used " and " at the beginning and end of the link, which is what mucked it up. You can't use quotes in the URL= format. Biggles (121)

Thanks for the pointer Bruce.
