    how did you know that i was going to ask for pictures:-)
    I always liked the ocean picture in thinking about quality.
    Maslow's hieararchy makes me picture mountains rather then oceans
    though............
    Something is irritating me about the Maslow comparison, but can't pinpoint
    what it is, any ideas?

    those damn mountains." Homer Simpson
