    The BBC has a programme called Click Online.

    Yesterday they did a section on Major Geeks. The upshot was that previously they'd said the best place on the net to get the latest drivers was the manufacturers website.


    They had an email to say that ain't necessarily not so, pointing them at MG. I think the email was from a guy called James in Holland.

    They then proceeded to show MG's front page whilst giving big time props and then said they'd be taking a more in-depth look at the site in a later programme..

    Here's a link to their site, I think you can view the latest episode online. If this is the episode shown yesterday the MG bit is about a third of the way in.

    Streaming no problem for me --- Really great the way they put the segment together. Big as life on the screen. Cool way to start off a Monday.

    We'll have to figure out a way to thank them, MG style. ;)

    Good idea, we could send them some shirts. I would pay just to hear someone with a foreign accent (ie, different then our own) talk about us on TV, its just so much cooler for some reason :)

    Lets just hope that they actually do that longer section on MGs that the presenter talked about?
