Production
- Initial design and build of version 7.0.0 was completed over a number of months during the summer of 2006, in both Walsall, West Midlands and Palo Alto, California.
- Made on a Mac. I use a MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo) running MacOS X 10.4 Tiger.
- Ideas realised in Fireworks 8, and hand coded with the support of Dreamwever 8. Both products are available from Adobe Systems, Inc.
