- Here Here!!

- I've actually thought about posting this very senitment for months. When
- we first started receiving CD-ROMs from SGI, I had to take apart the cases
- and write the software name on the spines - a pain, but at least they were
- identified. I couldn't believe it when SGI went to dark blue at the color
- of the jackets, now I can't even add write the name on each CD case.
-
- Sorry to basically post a me-too message, but I've been teetering as to
- whether this was worth posting, and now that someone brought it up, I'm
- willing to add my voice so those at SGI who have a say will know that it
- is more that a one person complaint.
