ReplyDeleteWell, I am not saying it's proof at all. I'm saying I don't think I believe it. It just doesn't look right to me, is all. I hope I'm wrong, because I'm a big fan of daft people abusing technology at their own risk.
ReplyDeleteOh, well, if he's known for this anyway then I will defer to reputation. Doesn't stop me enjoying it if it's not quite as advertised, I just like to know.
