h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

H2G2 is to be closed?
Why do I pay my Licence fee? Well it's not totally for the telly is it? It's for the websites too!
So lets save hootoo- we all pay for it (if we have a telly!).

I don't like the new look either. It's wrecked my a personal space a bit, which was a bit of an achievement for me, given I am useless on computer stuff. OK, I haven't been on late, but, I come in to see how it's going and to catch up with folks, and it's just....

On a positive note. Deke wrote a very interesting, inforamtive and well researched Guide Entry on the skullduggery and political double dealing that went on regarding Ejector Seats for Vulcan rear crews in the 1960s. This may be regarded as a small footnote in history by some, but it's implications for the Service Personnel affected were huge. It also shows that 50 years later, the same sorts of things are still happening. Not bad for a site built by the users, as it were!

Save Hootoo. We know it makes sense- so should you!

Not exactly closed -just divorced by the BBC who wants to spend their money on other things.
Of course the last time hootoo changed hands it was off-line for a couple months and this could happen again.
Let's just hope the BBC accepts the offer by the consortium.

Fingers crossed the transfer goes smoothly. Looking forward to sorting my page out...... and maybe get it back into a format that I like
Hope to get on here more too....
