http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Greece Various ones look very much like it. For example "State flag on land, 1822–1969 and 1975–78" and "Ceremonial flag of Greece" "During the House of Wittelsbach" it was pretty much the exact shade of blue, too. ![]() |

I particularly liked the comment on PCPro that suggested MS had immortalised the BSOD in the Windows logo no less than 4 times. |

Nothing like as exciting as it may seem. Amongst her other duties, she's the Chancellor of Exeter Uni. Whilst I was doing my placement in the networking team there we had a call due to the absence of any wireless signal in the rooms that are kept for her on campus (it was graduation time and she was there to hand out the degrees), so we had to go in and install some additional kit. |
