    Do you regret not finishing any of your development projects? For me personally my biggest regret is not finishing an online store and a CMS. I know they've both been don't to death and there's source code widely available but it would've been a good achievement.
    What are your biggest regrets?

    Who cares? I would have owned a good chunk of it and I would have almost certainly sold it for a fortune by 2000. Funding stalled at the last moment on the basis that "we don't know if this Internet thing is going to last" (actual reason given).

    Tourism resources and directory; events, accommodation, attractions, etc. It would have been very basic by today's standards, but there literally was nothing out there at the time. Even Bord Failte had nothing up (at least the year before when I approached them).

    AFAIR, it employed frames... frames were all the rage back then... :o
