As Gerv himself said, there's nothing anybody can do. The Maozilla Politburo
has decided to go with Communist graphics, and that's that. No Irish need
apply.

Sounds OK to me, but like Gerv said, it won't happen. No stated reason, it just
won't.
If you want my take on it (and I know you do ;-)), I'd bet a significant sum of
money that within, say, six months, we see a press release to the effect of
"AOL/Time Warner Announces Deal With People's Republic of China To Install
MaozillAOL On Each And Every One Of The People's PCs, Whether The People Like It
Or Not".
Nothing like a captive audience.
