        Sachin,

        I have one, but won't part with it. Mine is a wizzard standing over a large cauldron
which is a sea shell. There are printed circuit masks forming from the mist over the cauldron.

        The company name on the bottom of the poster is "Unitech software inc." there is a phone
number too (703) 264-3301. Google returns three hits on the phone number, but all more than 7 years old.
