Intro page for Keynote-NF leads many people to believe it uses .NET and get turned away #485

When I first saw Keynote-NF a few years ago and read the page, I read the 
following on the homepage:
"I'm working in a totally new application, based in .NET and db4o object 
oriented database."

Immediately, I thought, oh no - this project is a recode of Keynote in .NET - I 
hate .NET apps because they are slow and heavy. This caused me to never try 
Keynote-NF.

Only recently I found a Keynote comment informing me otherwise at:

portable.
hi 2009-05-04 00:31 kermode, you are wrong. KeyNote-NF is programmed in Borland 
Delphi and it has NOTHING to do with .NET. I don't even have .NET installed on 
this machine... It's a 100 MicroXP disk and the Keynote-NewFeatures version 
works perfectly.

I tried out Keynote-NF and was very pleased with its snappy performance and to 
see it is still using Delphi and does not require the .NET Framework.

So I see that I was not alone in being misled by that text on the homepage of 
Keynote-NF: "a totally new application, based in .NET". I think it would be 
wise to clear that up that misleading text so people know that Keynote-NF is 
still based in Delphi.
