[GEM Development] The future of FreeDOS GUIs is arriving! OpenGEM Project Liberation is now available

[Peter Green]

Exciting stuff, well promoted, Shane!

But Apostrophe Man just read it and insists that I point out that a 
greengrocer has managed to tamper with the text at two points:

...and neatly display
them on it's desktop.

and

...OpenGEM 5, though we'll test it
carefully before it's final release...

Of course, in both positions, the apostrophe should be removed from "it's"

Now, I think that pedantic so and so, Apostrophe Man, will leave me in 
order to rescue spelling somewhere else.
