Hi guys. I have no comment on whether or not using Apple's iSync icon is
bad. I just wanted to point out that I enjoy John Schilling's Newton
Connection Utility icon from this set:

Visit his website too: http://www.stimpsoft.com/the_pile.html
Here's what the icon looks like if you don't want to download the set
(or are using Windows)

What do other people think? Should I email John and ask if he's
interested in entering it in the contest?
