I see many names when I look at the ABOUT in the Help menu, but TheeMahn 
is on top and is the one who started it all.

(Don't you just love those people who tell you that they know the answer 
to a problem but don't tell you what that is nor where to find that 
answer? :-) )

<Clears throat...> Graham, could you tell me how to fix that cursor

This is the first thing which came to mind: while the effort to get 
Ubuntu together someone else had the time to get the screens, etc 
looking good. All they - Ubuntu - now need to do is get together with 
TheeMahn's group and "put it all together" (but see also the Wikipedia 
entry for "Ultimate Edition".)
