    He's a close friend of Prince Charles of the House of Windsor.

    Maybe he's got Charles into FOSS.

    Great for general promotion of FOSS - this is the kind of positive 'advertising' that should not go unnoticed.

    Ha! I was wondering if anybody would notice that! I wonder what OS it's running???

    Also, while the music was playing at the end, my daughter came running downstairs. She is convinced that the piano is "delicate piano" from Garage Band (the Apple software). I trust her judgment, because she's using those samples right now on a song she's making. So, I went to the band's web site, where I read the following:
    furny's heavy use of samples means that many of their early tracks are unavailable for release, due to their copyright infringement nature.
    So... long live GNU!

    Nice video, I love Stephen Fry to, was great in Blackadda.
    I almost forgot about that. My favorite episode is the very last one... Don't know why, as it's rather tragic.

    Dont seem right to me unless it's deliberate. He could well have Linux on there, alot of freesoftware devs for KDE and GNOME use Macbooks as well with Linux on.
