# Well it's an improvement tbh
I'm going to be pissed off if it gets more votes though

# I spent ages on it.
I have to go to sleep now, I'm supposed to be test driving a rather fast car tomorrow and I don't want to crash.
EDIT: There you go, consider it free advertising for your pic.

# nice
although I find I rarely use the portrait option on my shiny new flat monitor, all the cables fall out

# The ones in the hospital I'm working in are all portrait so you can look at x-rays better.
Using them for emails and stuff feels a bit weird though.

# well obviously
but it's always fun to complain about the compo being rubbish.
It wouldn't be new compo day without a load of complaining.
Although this one is particularly bad.....

and the trains
and the great buildings
