Where technology meets simplicity

I’m on vacation and have been since Friday (too bad I have 2 finals and a presentation to work on). Dave is leaving Boston for Las Vegas and Corey and Andy should have time off too… so we’ll be back after the new year. We’ll see you in 2009 hopefully with new forums [...]
