I was googling "prof rock climbing" and hit a "g" instead of the "f" and found myself here. The rest is history and this is a true story.

That sounds so false it has to be true.

Me? A certain member of a different forum had recommended this website to me (won't say who).

a friend told me about this great site

Same goes for me. Except the muppets and I really don't remember the exact word I googled.

Just looking around for Yes info, and came across this site.

I was trying out a piece of software called Grokker - as that's what I do for a living (ie, I test software); I wanted the Pro version, but pressed return too early.

OK, I didn't press return too early - just my little joke - but I have been researching Prog for a little while now, and so that was the first search term I used.

I particularly wanted to zoom in quickly on sites that had free mp3s - and, of course, this site came top.


The link just takes you to the company who make it - and a terrible, basic version of what I tested - which was a fantastic graphical affair that provided a load of "bubbles" that you could drill down into and get specific data very quickly. The version at the link is text-based and dreadful - don't use it

The best thing is that PA is designed well. it is so user friendly, and you can have an intelligent (or silly) conversation without every other word being an 'F' word, some rock sites are full of these, it puts you off.  Also PA members are such a friendly bunch!!!

I exchanged several mails with Didier Malherbe himself.
