    Sure sure - the real hope is that (once we are clean with it - still
work to do there) - we can use Microsoft's new binary document format
validator to automatically regression test this. Sadly the thing is not
open-source, so we can't easily use it except on Windows, but ... hey.

    :-) that is hard to judge; people's memory gets rosier and rosier with
the passage of time, there were some pretty hideous bugs we shipped with
I think.

    So - not that :-)

    Looks great to me. I suggest we also put it at the top of the page as
well.

    :-) we can keep green for the ultra-stable release I guess.

    How does that sound ? :-)

Hi :)
I thought there wa a red triangle with a white exclamation mark in it at one 
point?  Perhaps a yellow triangle?  In the Uk the red triangle would fit with 
warning signs used along roads.  I like the green tick.  It looks warm and 
friendly.  

Regards from
Tom :)
