Isn't the CD a digital music format or has 16bit LPCM been reclassified as analogue?

Artworks is now developed by Martin Wurthner http://www.mw-software.com/ and has made plenty of improvements to in since the Computer Concepts version. There was rumours going round that someone was going to carry on developing Impression, but that hasn't happened and nearly everyone has moved over to Ovation Pro.
As for Sibelius, I never really liked it as it didn't behave like a native Risc OS application and - at least on my computer - the colours didn't look right.

Over here in the UK, up until the late 80s Radio 1 was only on MW and so there was probably more people listening to MW than FM/VHF. As for DRM, I not sure if this is going to go any better than how DAB has turned out - lots of stations crammed in therefore low bit rates and terrible sound quality.
Woman Wins Libel Suit By Suing Wrong Website 323
An anonymous reader writes "It appears that Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader Sarah Jones and her lawyer were so upset by a comment on the site TheDirty.com that they missed the 'y' at the end of the name. Instead, they sued the owner of TheDirt.com, whose owner didn't respond to the lawsuit. The end result was a judge awarding $11 million, in part because of the failure to respond. Now, both the owners of TheDirty.com and TheDirt.com are complaining that they're being wrongfully written about in the press — one for not having had any content about Sarah Jones but being told it needs to pay $11 million, and the other for having the content and having the press say it lost a lawsuit, even though no lawsuit was ever actually filed against it."

Yes, I have installed Ubuntu on various laptops and netbooks. Only had problems with 2, the first one I had to use the Windows drivers with ndiswrapper as there were no open source drivers around and the company had vanished years ago. The second one worked after I realised that there was a switch on the front of the laptop to turn wifi on!

They kept calling here too, even though I told them that it was impossible for me to be having a problem with Windows as I use Linux, they still kept calling back.
Thankfully I haven't had a call from them for over a month now.

I managed to get them working on Kubuntu 10.04 with Konqueror by installing kpart-webkit. It worked on all of them apart from the Audio and Video.
