Hi all,

I must vent a bit and I know you will sympathise. I get to work today at the
National Air and Space Museum to find that our IMAX theater has been renamed to
the "Lockheed Martin" IMAX Theater.

This is just ridiculus. It was already named after a pioneer in flight, Samuel
P. Langley, so I find renaming it after a corporation just insulting. Sure they
paid the mega$$$ to install new 3-D IMAX cameras, put up a big plaque in their
honor. But renaming the theater is just too much.

The day is nearing when the SI museums will be renamed after corporate donors.
Heck, half the galleries are already that way.

Deb - disgruntled at the SI but what else is new :)
