Ten years ago today I wrote the first AmericaNet.Com website for a company in Colorado. It remains today as a shadow of its former self and most pages have lost the copyright notice I wrote for "Walter the bird" which read thus: "Now look, the boss worked hard to put all this stuff here. You are welcome to come visit often, and please tell your friends we are here, but don't be a bird brain and rip this stuff off. I am the only bird brain around here and I'd like to keep it that way so the boss doesn't fire me."

Obviously not great prose but a line I've always liked as the attitude matched that of the small black-and-white bird.
