No that date is not an error, but it seemed like a good place to
start.  This weekend JonKare landed some enhancements to Gnumeric's
gui startup procedure that takes a middle road between splash
screens and instant on.  If the file we're loading takes more than 3
seconds it pops up a splash with a progress monitor.

Bruno's original image seems like a nice starting point.  but it is
clearly a bit out of date (gnome-1.4 icons).  Anyone with artistic
talent out that have some ideas with ideas ?

This seems like a good time to reopen the BEVERAGES file.  The
winning entry gets a beverage of choice whenever we meet.  Including
a bonus slug of the famous ceremonial Gnumeric ICBM Vodka.
