If you notice, one of the example words lying about the box is "WIN" (like WINdows :twisted: ). Also notice "AT" and the three letters on the pieces about the box which, if combined spell "CRE".
Here is the subliminal message:
I am a CRE (Certified Reliability Engineer) and have been around a while (AT is the older style computer cases, the new ones are ATX), and used to use WINdows. I have discovered it's unreliability for information systems and now use GNU.

what?
what is there not to get? :confused:
there's a wildebeest on the front...
it says GNU... this leads me to believe it was a deliberate action.
Ironically, the amazon picture has :WIN: on it?
It's obvious:
Jesus put this box here to reverse the trend...
When these kids grow up, they'll want Linux.

gnu /nu, nyu/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[noo, nyoo] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun, plural gnus, (especially collectively) gnu.
either of two stocky, oxlike antelopes of the genus Connochaetes, the silver-gray, white-bearded C. taurinus of the eastern African plain and the black, white-tailed C. gnou of central South Africa: recently near extinction, the South African gnu is now protected.
You know what? I think you're right, it just may have been deliberate to put a antelope on the box along with the name Gnu. :P
