And some bloke called Steve Mason drops in to tell us of his new site, www.blackproject.org. It's not another clone site, he says, "It was designed with uniqueness in mind. " Anyhow Steve builds a computer (Coo!) over here, reviews a Dell LCD screen over here and fiddles with a Netgear RP614 Router over here.
