Well I was just looking for an aesthetic graphic to use as a larger backround
graphic over which I could superimpose 'rubyx' in smaller English. To
japanese readers, it would suggest that rubyx was a powerful operating
system. To the rest of us, it would merely be pretty ;)
Do you see what I'm getting at? Does it work? or would a japanese reader just
think "Ka? what the hell is that all about?"
Perhaps you could suggest suitable alternatives? Much as I'd love to learn
japanese, I have to consider it overkill as a solution for the current
problem domain ;)
