+For the screensavers last time round I just mainly used my own images
+as most of the submissions for the artwork contest don't look so good
+when reflected.
+
+I don't have them chosen already, but it wont take long.
+
+I can ask Lewis for a sample today. Last I asked he was wanting to
+record a better version of it first.
+
+I'll report in later on both of these things.
+
+That would be good about the council stuff.
