Those are very nice and interesting Steve. Good work.

That and I think more and more people are moving away from SB as their technology falls further and further behind the competition.

summertime usually slows always.

Hello 8Ball. As a fact, the traffic is clearly down. I agree, things used to be really jumping here. And going back to look at old posts, from...

That's comedy right there...;)
