I won't be there.  But I want someone to explain where picture people
come from.  View this site, for instance:

http://www.navyfederal.org/mobile/mobiledemo.html  (In the Beginning
Was the Command Line)

See the pretty picture person?  Her kind exists everywhere.
Wellmark.com employs a *lot* of them.  They're on
http://www.dmmta.com/.  Most universities or colleges put them on
their promotional materials.  You'll see them on the sides of busses
sometimes, and on billboards wearing expensive watches.

Who are these people?  Do they exist in some alternate universe?  Are
they from cyberspace?  How do they get these jobs?  Is their a
consulting firm somewhere that hires these picture people?  They're
always attractive and clean and so... non-specific.  That's a
hallmark.  If they're wearing a company logo then it's probably some
real person here in the real world.  The picture people don't wear
logos.
