"You can understand our predicament, we have an `Alien' mascot without a name," says Vince Frese, chief executive officer at Tridia Corporation. "He's from a remote planet called DOWNLOAD and arrived on an advanced VNC spacecraft that's capable of CROSS-PLATFORM travel to the `REMOTE' reaches of the computing universe. The `Alien' is an OPEN-SOURCE ambassador from the planet DOWNLOAD, where OPEN-SOURCE is a better way of life. He traveled this long way in support of Tridia Corporation's leadership role on Earth as integrator/aggregator of open source eSupport technology. We are very pleased to have the `Alien' join our open-source team."
