Nice to see ya TVF. I just went to Frinks Drinks and I like the new layout and the 'planning permission' bit. Nice. Should save you from architectural nightmares.
The page on 'Freedom to...' was inspired by Microsoft's remarkable reaction to being found guilty by the US DOJ.
Does Bill say 'OK you got me'? Nope.
Does Bill say 'Hey we're the good guys and we invent loads of stuff (not just nick other company's ideas) and everyone against us is wrong!'. You betcha!

I keep thinking if only *I* were Bill Gates, I could do so many good things............of course most of the good things would be for my own benefit, so the main difference would be that his money would do me good instead of him......or something like that.
I finally swiped your misfit pull-down window for my front page. I'm going to throw every future member in there to keep the main page size down

I will join the cause
Alas, I believe the US Justice department's "win" could prove to be a Pyrrhic victory.
Because of the glacial pace this case will move at on its way to the Supreme Court, technology will have moved on and the final 'result' could prove meaningless.
