Hard News: Thanks, Steve. For everything., in reply to Russell Brown,
In a cul-de-sac in Pt Chev, Macs everywhere, it was the late 1996 model I think, I freelanced to Renaissance, they said go take this to Russell, so I did. You answered the door, said put it over there, and I drove off.
Me and a good mate put two LC's back to back and played Flight Simulator, in 1987?
Mac for productivity, PC for solitaire ;-) -
I once dropped a Mac off to your house for you to review, round 1996. I work for a software company, have worked for many, all Windows, except for the first Mac that came into the Ad agency I worked in, in 1987 I think it was.
Suffice to say, Steve did a helluva job. -
For me this from English in that article linked to above was most telling,
''In the UK and US, the reasons for that are reasons we wouldn't want to have to deal with. They've had a collapse in the housing market in the US and they have had big, big cuts in public sector and transfers to households in the UK, so that decrease in household debt in the UK and the US is primarily driven by fear,'' he said.
He sort of sets up the monster, fades out because it could be our monster, then ends with the F word, brilliant. -

I think NRT sums Labour vs National very well here. When the Govt. stands for nothing, the opposition must stand for something. -
Hard News: The Politics of Absence, in reply to Carol Stewart,
I saw that too and thought the exact same thing, it's difficult to rail against buying votes with tax cuts when you vie for votes with spending promises. Epic fail.
As for it getting on your goat Ian, I think that's exactly what it was designed to do.National, too big to fail, Labour too small to succeed.

Asked if he had told Key before he went to air, English said he could not recall ''the exact sequence''.

Southerly: Tower Insurance Have Some Bad…, in reply to Rob Stowell,
Yes I suspect the Red Zone is a land grab. The Crown has a known history of it.
