    Can I remind you that this thread is related to Breast Cancer Awareness and not to "Let's save molona from shameless alcoholic behaviour"? We can leave that for next month so I have time to run away and hide with my bot...errr... with my basic survival kit

    this contest was to raise awareness in relation to Breast Cancer. The "Pink of October" movement was born quite a few years ago and spread worldwide, up to the point that many consider that October is the month to show support for this good cause, and chose pink as their color (in the same way we did with our contest).

    Why pink? because, as you say, pink is normally related to women, and although men do suffer from this terrible disease, this particular type of cancer attacks women more than men by a high percentage.

    @xhtmlcoder ;, @molona ;, @guido2004 ;, @spikeZ ;, @Dark Tranquility ;, @ra_it56 ;

    Many thanks to everyone for supporting a great and worthy cause which has my sincere empathy.

    I am now busy creating other colour options and will retain the pink Breast Cancer Awareness theme.

    The pleasure was all mine

    Not only have I received the prize but there were two bonuses - converted ePub and Mobi files, the latter ideal for the tablet.

    Many thanks once again.
