    not a waste of money?

    anteros, if just getting your name 'heard about' is what you consider a 'win' or good return on investment - think of where the pets.com, homegrocer.com and like who advertised during the superbowl are now.

    Not a wasteI did taw a puttytat---errr penguin!

    Not in this video but during the ABC broadcast. It was on the side of the engine air intake above and behind the cockpit. I was looking for the one painted on the nose during the race, but the car wasn't showcased until the crash. Unfortunately, the name "Linux" wasn't next to Tux, so I doubt people would immediately make the association.

    That just goes to show you about his age and that you have to be consistently racing in order to be competitive in the IRL.. Another has been hits the wall....

    I didn't see the penguin and i was looking for it. i don't think the linux guy gave the team any money for the logo.

    It wasn't a waste

    Some are already complaining that this was a big waste of money. Not so. The millions that heard about Linux before the race was the achievement. This was just a way to get the name and logo in the public eye. Wait a week or two before you cast any judgment. There is already a connection being made to the car with the NYSE emblem and Linux being written about. NYSE just switched to Linux a couple weeks ago. That in itself was huge for Linux.

    Roberto is fine as far as I can tell. I called the hospital and was told he had been released

    Get well soon.

    I hope you are alright. I just wish Microsoft would not have put that electromagnet in that wall.

    Well crap

    18 grand and he crashed. Oh well, he qualified for the race and there was a penguin on the car, that's all I came for. Good job Roberto!
