		<description>No, no, no - I&#039;m devastated - I have been using BO since 1996 and I love the pink marble!
I agree with Jansi and your co-worker about wasting time - also so many of the logos have the pink marble even the Designer logos and such like - what a waste of energy!</description>

		<description>Yes, I agree with what your co-worker told. Why are they seriously wasting their precious time on these silly things, instead of doing something useful?</description>

		<description>Dave,

Thanks for explaining that it&#039;s a ruler.  I just thought it was a dumb rectangle.  My biggest gripe is that it is too similar in color to predefined conditions (see http://dallasmarks.blogspot.com/2008/08/business-objects-xi-30-hits-and-misses_24.html).  Count me in - let&#039;s start a campaign to bring back the pink marble!</description>

		<description>Welcome, Janice, and thank you for your comment. I hope you made it through the weekend okay. ;)

Nick, I was at one demonstration where the speaker called it a &quot;gold bar&quot; because it was a representation of something of value. 

I mentioned this to a co-worker, and her response was along the lines of, &quot;Why would they waste time on this? Don&#039;t they have better things to fix?&quot; :lol:</description>

		<description>I am sad to see the pink marble is gone.  I met the pink marble 2.5 years ago, and it has been with me through thick-n-thin.  Even though I must adapt to the yellow ruler (so, predictable), the pink marble will always be with me in spirit. 

Do not worry my friends, I will find others to console with me this weekend...and hopefully, they will understand my loss and not think I am crazy.  I will do my best to constrain my feelings, avoid raving on how the yellow ruler mastered the pink marble to its death.

Now, do not get me talking about â€˜skewedâ€™ blue cubes...what has this world come too!?!</description>
