Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for building a ladder to the stars. Freeway, to some extent, and the community around it, largely, have been responsible for my growth as an artist and technician and teacher. I would not be where I am today without it, and all of you.
Richard Logan, who was one of my anchor clients when I (forcibly) went freelance in 2002… thank you again.
All of you in Oxford, past and present, who had the audacity to make WYSIWYG a non-dirty word in Web design… thank you again. I learned a lot of HTML by dissecting the output of Freeway, starting with version 1.
ActionsForge will remain “on the air” as long as it continues to attract an audience. It does not cost very much for me to keep it running. If I ever take it down, I will post a static archive on Github or similar, so it can live on on someone else’s nickel.
It’s going to take a while for this to sink in, I’m sure I’ll have more to say later.

To all our friends, partners and customers:
The end of Softpress Systems Ltd. has come. It has become clear that our prospects, both in terms of current revenue and new product development, are insufficient to sustain the company as a viable entity going forward.
It is with great sadness that we have made this decision; Softpress has been a part of our lives for over two decades. The challenges that we have overcome, the friendships we have found, and the daily efforts we have shared as a team, have defined much of our lives since 1993. Some of our team have been “on duty” here at Softpress Towers since the beginning.
We will do our best to ensure that users can get community support in the short term through FreewayTalk, though there are no plans to further develop our products at this time. Customer downloads will continue to be available.
We wish we could do more. Who knows what comes next?
Thank you for your support over these many years.
For the whole of the Softpress Team,
Richard Logan and Joe Billings
