Another good reason to have talked to us.  We have all the icons, but they 
didn't get put in due to people forgetting.  Max had used some MS icons as

and fixing a couple of other things now.

I'm not sure how this affects what we were going to do.  We'll update our 
icons and go from there.

ok - I don't understand any of that :), but I will forward the information 
to the artist and get you an update.
