Had it written down on my notepad 19th Dec Watching the company & share price closely. Will you be able to break down customers by country in Full Year Result when it comes out around mid year? And congratulations for 1000 UK Customers. Tim & Paula Just went back and reread press release and you were correct.

Using someone else's IP (Tintin is still not public domain) during the current #blackout is interesting. The incipient NZ copyright law would have a very chilling effect on SAAS providers - this post could cause a take down notice sent to your ISP and all of your hosting disconnected. You are hosted outside NZ right?. congratulations.

In the 50 days of 2009, we have added 1000 more.
