    Sorry about the delay on this. Extremely busy, and also sick.

    This is one of the things Kevin and I worked on at our meeting. It's a list of imaginary Boards users which the redesign will target. We reckon this list is fairly representative, but if anyone disagrees we'd like to hear it, so we can update the list accordingly.

    I took out "Looks for LANs" from Andy's description as I realised that a 12 year old would probably be scarred for life going along to one of them.
