Okay, remember this? Well, (some of) the questions were asked and the video has turned up.
Now our webmaster is in mid-air on a plane and I have no idea how to post a video on this here website, so you’ll just have to watch it on youtube.
Looks like arsebog asked one of the same questions as there’s one that is featured in their version of this promotional exercise, but it’s an obvious one, so no great surprise. Anyway, part of the deal for this exercise is promotion for the app, so here comes the PR blurb…
