What does adiabatics have to do with the weather?

I think they've fixed this quirk in Windows XP. See, there's this block icon in the lower left-hand corner of XP which simply says "Log Off." It's a kind of rounded, burnt-orange blocky colour surrounded with trim, which on a good day reminded me of the Crysler PT Cruiser that I saw at a car show, and on a bad day made me think of melted Lego...

Not the particular Rocky Mountains in Alberta which the cement/mining companies are pulverizing into dust. Those ones just look like powder.
