Icon 19 (My Network)
Now we move on to our My Network icon. I would like to think
of some really cleaver convention for this, but I have not had any luck
so far. What I, and most other icon makers seam to do, is a computer with
a globe or two computers together. Since we have a neat looking globe
I figured we go with it one more time.

Step 1:
We will get started by copying our My Computer icon, and shrinking it
down about 80%.

Step 2:
Now we Copy our Internet icon over, and shrink it down and place to the
lower right of our guide box. I also delete the cord and its
shadow.

Step 3:
Now I make a new cord, leaving our plug on the globe and running off
behind the Computer. I do this with the Mesh Fill tool.

Step 4:
I pull a shadow off the new cord, and break it apart. Then I crop it
down to make sure it looks right, using the Node Edit tool.

This is an important icon, though it was pretty simple to
make. Tomorrow we will move on to the Web folder.
