Yeah, I noticed that (and other mistakes) but you get the drift and all we really have to care about is that they won't pull the site down at a moment's notice thinking it's a warez dump. Hosting is in the process of being setup by the way, so the domain will soon point to our empty space - by this weekend I'd hope we can start pulling together a list of software/authors that we wish to gain permission for/from and then get to work on it! While that's ongoing, we can start putting PD stuff up there, along with any disk mags etc that we've permission to use. Anyone fancy lending their graphic skills for a samcoupe.org logo? :) Gavin
