Re: Market Development for "Web MIDI"

> Chris
Thank you for having MIDIappy sticker on your laptop!! I understand
what you mean. "MIDIappy is a mascot, not a logo." I agree that.

MIDIappy's arms are MIDI connector, and actually his body is the
earth. The earth sometimes uses for Web. So it looks not obvious, but
it is still satisfying the meaning of "Web" and "MIDI" :-) However he
is a mascot, is not a logo. That is the things I understood.
