    Ah, the good old days of Violin. Every internal sales call peppered with "Attack!" so the sales team would tie on their rising sun headband and fly off on their kamikaze missions.

    And then there was the global sales conference where Dixon showed a clip from the movie Patton - all about killing Nazis. It did somewhat upset the few Germans in the room, one of whom was rumoured to have quit upon returning to the fatherland.

      At least we didn't use solution as a verb!!!!

      Seriously it's just a placeholder front page, it's not like we announced the website or anything, how were we to know that Chris would do some actual investigative reporting and find it.

      Now I regret having them take down the even more marketing speak version that used to be there, it would have been more fun watching people complain about what it said :)

      Why don't you wait till there is *actual* content on the web site and then make fun of it? I know novel concept but hey stranger things could happen.
