I created the animated GIF years ago at IBM.  And the image on the              
lambasting website, too.  The original artwork was from a keychain fob that     
I scanned in.  Pam Christina will likely recall the history of who did the      
original image for the key chain fob.                                           
                                                                                
Other versions of the animated GIF were done by me, too. One showed the bear    
grabbing a cup of java and drinking it from when java on VM was new.

After I left IBM, Pam Christina took my vmwebart page and stuffed it beneath    
her own to save them from the bit-bucket.  You may see some others there you    
might want to capture before they get lost.  Her page is at:

I was only able to find it by using the "Site Search" and certain keywords.
