It's great that in the link you've given, Tame Iti is described as one of New Zealand's "ingenious people"...

Years ago at an innovative conference, not long after 100% Pure was launched, I was shouted down when I suggested that it was a campaign doomed to failure. The idea that even 1% impure would collapse their tagline would not be brooked by the enthusiasts. Apparently it was "unpatriotic" to even suggest it...

and now we are blessed with the Coalition of the Wallys...

and, I watched the Obama speech, while simultaneously reading it (not easy for a mono-tasker) and I thought it was a cunning pre-emptory piece. I wondered whether there might be anything to learn for us from his message that there was guilt on both sides... (at the risk of extradition, when was the last time you heard Maori express guilt about anything?). While it won't rate oratorically against anything Kennedy or King said, it's message may outlast and lie deeper.

well I thought I was reasonably tech literate until I went out to find an Easter bargain on a widescreen. Couldn't even find an assistant at Noel Leeming (perhaps this is a good thing) and Lance at Harvey Norman led me a merry dance re: plasma vs lcd - I really don't want to know what he "has at home". Looking at 37" I just need a nudge one way or the other. Consumer was no use - they test merely half a dozen models in a flooded field. My real question is freeview - terrestial or satellite? The freeview site is no help. With cost (of a dish) not a question, which is better? I know I'll get a consistent signal from Satellite? is this enough? Am I missing out? In this, the year of Freeview, HD and a crisp image, it is remarkable how little information is available to the hungry consumer...
