		<description><![CDATA[I don&#39;t usually go for business websites but this was just too cool to miss. Lego have created what they call the Lego Factory. You can download software to your computer to let you create your own virtual Lego things- be it a person, plane, racing car etc. You can then order it online, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is very well done, and a site I know I shall return to often. Like Imagini (covered in a portent story here) it helps you select gifts. It&#39;s nowhere as colourful as Imagini but makes up for that by being very comprehensive. Make four selections (amount, age, type of person and their sex) and [...]]]></description>

No prizes for guessing which are which, though the faded tones make the 1975 photos look about 1945. A fascinating glimpse at the changes that time has wrought.
