October 2005 Howard has
authorised this official Mirror Site for Aquarticles as there is a
temporary continuity problem (or could be ) with the original site due to
his ill-health. We all wish him well and he has done and we hope will
continue to do a superb job with Aquarticles over the last few and the
coming years.
Inevitably as with any changeovers,
we will have teething problems, notably keeping the mirror site up to date
as compared to Aquarticles base site. Please bear with us.
