  15. Icon's other problem is the name.  It was a good name when it was
  16. thought of, but now when evangelizing about it, you have to spend the
  17. first five minutes of the conversation explaining that it has nothing
  18. whatever to do with icons on the computer screen.  (Maybe Unicon will
  19. help that, too.)
