…that the Nero icon is a burning colloseum! And that was all because of Nero, the emperor!
Finally it makes sense!
JIHAAW!
Just information: the Coloseum was not burned down by Nero because it was build after his death by emperor Vespasianus and his son Titus.
lol
i didn’t recognize what was in the icon neither. But that was years ago…I knew who Nero was and what he had done…
but they really should make the icons bigger
I made the connection Nero-Nero, but thought it was just coincidence. I didn’t realize what the burning colosaeum was.
But Rome (ROM, haha! :)) was burned down by Nero, and Colloseum is the greatest symbol of Rome…
The guys at Ahead really thinked when they namned their product… Name another software with such an well reasoned title!
nero was actually mental [literally mad/crazy]
the ahead boyz are pretty mad too [not]
This text can actually be found in Nero`s helptool:
Nero
Nero Claudius Caesar
born in the year 37 A.D., died 68 A.D. Roman Emperor from 54 - 68, son Aggripinas, adopted by Emperor Claudius, intitally ran a constructive government with Seneca, in agreement with the Senate, had his mother murder Agrippina, he freed himself of sensible advisors, appearances as artiste and chariot driver; carried out sovereign court cases; put the blame for the Great Fire of Rome on the Christians; first persecution of Christians. Pisonic conspiracy in the Senate against Nero failed - even greater repression. Uprisings in Gaulle, Spain and Africa provoked the decline of the Pretorian guard and its ostracism in the Senate: comitted suicide (68) - serious empirical crisis in Rome.
In earlier versions of Nero, there was a file called hello.txt or something in the Nero directory. I think it had the same text as above, plus a little info on why the name Nero was chosen.
This file seems to have been removed now, however.
i remember that txt file too:rolleyes:

Yes, I have heard of Garfield (He is called Pusur here in Norway, BTW).
I just wrote that in a joking manner, meaning to ask something like: if you wanted to be the only one associated with cats around here?
I tend to like both sleeping and eating, and have Garfields tendency to gain weight :mad: , so I thought it was a suitable avatar for me!
