Also i like the branding make-over. 47 hats is a good name -- beyond it's actual meaning it adds in that mysterious power that prime numbers seem to have: 7 thinking hats, 7 habits of., 37 signals, 43 folders, route 67, 101 uses for a dead cat... and so on. Prime numbers have some unexpected appeal. cheers lb Thank you Bob (and top work Andy! of course)
