Hi Frank,

Excellent stuff, that is a vast improvement, I agree with sophie an extensions 
link directly would be a good addition.  The vast majority that hit the home 
page looking for extensions will go directly via the Action statement  Link.  
But a significant proportion will probably think about checking it out  from 
the Download page.

I like it a lot

Cheers
GL
