17/01/07 - Microsoft Windows Vista Conference

Apologies for no lectures yesterday. I was at a Microsoft Windows Vista conference all day and so could not post.

Apologies to those who visit Compare Sat Nav looking for the changes I make. try the satellite navigation price comparison area first! More
