Hmm interesting. I haven't looked at plus44 for quite a long time. It was written in the summer on 1997 on a very old mac using claris home page. Although it looks hopelessly out of date now it was at the time quite innovative and many 1000's of sites copied ideas from it. At the time there was really nothing on the web like it and I got daily emails from univerisities around the world asking if they could use it as a demo about England in classes. Nato asked if he it could be used for training U.S. forces, it was the firts website to be put on webwise. Througout all this I never made any money out of it and never had the impetutus to update it. I got 1000's of emails to keep it so I did. I did have a plan that would have made some money out of it and it could have been very cutting edge had it not been for a so called friend and programmer who was meant to help develop it but actually hihacked my whole idea and did it himself. It was somehow well embedded in search engines and although I haven't actually really looked at it for over five years it still receives an enormous amount of hits - so I gingerly pay my yearly isp fees in that some day something may happen to it. I now make films and might in the next few months turn it into a film website. So there you go.
