Oh, you mean it's embarassing to have to admit to being way behind
the times? :-)
You can pretend to be running 1.0 if you want.

Cute, It'll cause problems for people cuz:

1) they may not want people to know about the version of software
they're using. *shrug* it happens.
2) giving the thing a different name can screw people up cuz they have to
go and edit their homepage to put the new, oh wait, er, you use
the web a lot doncha, you probably already new this...

Ay.

Mmm, I'm trying to stop people from having to editing their damned
homepages. It's a non issue, it's clearly less hassle if we update the
graphic without changing its name. But short lives and this issue do
not sit well together so...

You can't *buy* that sort of quality these days...

Ay.

Go ahead and put it on your pages, but it's not something that needs to
