HA - yes I noticed that! True it was I that designed the thing by cobbling together a couple of bits of clipart but it was certainly not in 1964 which was well before the advent of the internet as we know it and certainly many years before the YBW forum arrived. It was early in the new millennium but can't remember exactly when. Incidentally, the latest incarnation has been a bit mean with the graphic and a bit OTT on square footage IMHO !
