I actually posted this already on Tue, 08 Sep 1998 but it didn't get beyond the internal server. So I will post again (as a test of one of our other internal servers --I LOVE my ISP) with apologies to any who see this twice.

Well, just _everyone_ mentioned the 'sombrero' and I must admit that it's really a bit -well- mexican. It's hard to draw tiny hats. Also Hammer's one is a bit huge.

(I'm not really familiar with Mr. Hammer so I don't know when he was working but I'm assuming from the fins on the car that it was in the 50's so I guess his fedora could be huge like that.) .--. .: | .---------------------.' | | < M.
