Well, as I say, this is very mundane and pointless. The article just appealed to me for some reason - if it bores people, please blame lack of sleep, or the toothache it rode in on. Probably because any mention of **Google** leaps off the page at me now, while wondering about the potential G-mail service, I just found this article rather fun somehow - I think because of the mental image of the Lego-built PC. Or perhaps because their Lego-built PC was probably a lot better than this Celyn PC.🙂 From my local newspaper website 05/04/2004 [http://www.theherald.co.uk/features/13334.html](http://www.theherald.co.uk/features/13334.html) > [@](#): > > … > Such is his affection for toy construction kits that, by the time he was in college, he had built a programmable plotter and inkjet printer out of Lego bricks. > > … > > The pair believe that if your service is good enough, word of mouth will do more for you than any expensive marketing. > > … Methinks they were right about the word of mouth advertising!
