  57 wxWindows: The API for programmers who aren't sheep.
  58 (Robin Dunn)
  59
  60 Better printed on a shirt:
  61
  62 "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion,
  63  butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet,
  64  balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying,
  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."
  69                                                [Robert A. Heinlein]
  70
  71 maybe stripped down to
  72
  73 "Specialization is for insects."
  74
  75 ============================
  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 "wxWindows" (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".
 102
 103 (or MFC)
 104
 105 ============================

 107 Have a photo of 3 babes wearing Linux, Windows and Mac Logo T-shirt with
 108 words at the bottom.

 110 "Why choose one when you can have 3?"

 122
 123 At front:
 124
 125     Need an API?
 126       <wxWindows>
 127    and get THE API
 128
 129        C++, Python, Basic, Lua ...
 130
 131 At back
 132
 133     <windows> OR <linux> OR <mac> ?
 134                 <wxWindows>  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 wxWindows code anyway.

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