Ok, I'm not going to give away what I've nominated in the own goal category, but here are some clues. * Almost 3 years late * Cost up to £300 * No new features as far as the user is concerned * Doesn't work with the most useful hardware upgrade for the Risc PC * Breaks quite a bit of software * Pointless version number increment Oow has that last one made it too easy? druck on 10/12/06 9:20PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

If it was only the first item on your bullet list, you could so easily be talking about *my* software - but the rest of the list leaves me saying "phew - he's talking about something else!" VinceH on 10/12/06 9:59PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

Thanks to everyone who has nominated things and people so far - I've tweaked the script after some people reported that their submissions may have been lost. You should see a 'Thanks for your submission' page after clicking on the 'nominate' button. If you think you've been missed out, please do now try again, or drop us an email with your nominations.
