Yes, but only when I see something somewhere else (e.g. Usenet, Twitter) telling me to. I don't have time to visit every web site on earth every day on the offchance it MAY have something interesting to me!!! > That's where you go to > download RISC OS, after all.

Therefore I tend not to because it takes so much time. As it gets bigger, it gets no better. So no, I don't visit ROOL's site as often as I perhaps should, instead relying on 'push' notifications. I am sure developers with their fingers in the pie (or pi) are there all the time and find it warm and cuddly, but users? No. I think we only visit when we're 'told' to. -- Tim Hill of timil.com . . . * supports TFT & shares in cheaper ethical telecoms http://tjrh.eu/phone * has a genuine & spam-proof address for Usenet http://www.invalid.org.uk/ * accepts incoming email: substitute postmaster@ for tim@ ...
