	65	take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations,
	66	analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a
	67	tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
	68	Specialization is for insects."

	71	maybe stripped down to
	72
	73	"Specialization is for insects."

	76	The Open-Source, Cross-Platform GUI Framework
	77	with Ten Years of Evolution Behind It
	78
	79	I saw this changed to 'native UI' on the website, which is slightly more
	80	accurate but sounds less 'catchy' imho.
	81
	82	.. and templates.
	83
	84	Hmm. I might buy a mug that had, say, a wxLogo and "wxWidgets" (and
	85	maybe the website URL underneath in smaller type) on one side and
	86	"Specialization is for insects ... and templates" on the other.
	87
	88	.. only if it held at leat a full half (imperial) pint, mind. Not
	89	one of those wussy 8.5 fl.oz. jobbies.
	90
	91	That'd be a nice ice-breaker when working at a new client's site -
	92	people would be bound to stop and ask what it was all about!
	93
	94	.. and how about a nice silk tie (US: necktie) with the logo on ...
	95	Oh, I forgot, we programmers don't wear ties.
	96
	97	============================
	98	"I can't believe it's not native"
	99
	100	============================
	101	"Because friends don't let friends use Win32".

	123	At front:
	124
	125	Need an API?
	126	<wxWidgets>
	127	and get THE API
	128
	129	C++, Python, Basic, Lua ...
	130
	131	At back
	132
	133	<windows> OR <linux> OR <mac> ?
	134	<wxWidgets> is
	135	<windows> AND <linux> AND <mac>
	136
	137	where <xxxxx> is the respective logo

	152	How about "and in the linker bind them"? That's where the local libraries
	153	get bound to the wxWidgets code anyway.

	164
	165	Nice idea. But I wonder where you'll find some volunteer willing to
	166	have his face tattooed with win32 common controls ;-)
