Hey if they want to play on their surface computers, we can probably avoid the presentations altogether!

And they don't listen anyway. We're usually ignored.

I need to talk about that now that I'm here in Cambridge. I've let it go with a lot of other stuff to do, but we'll give away some stuff....

I do believe there were immoral people involved, people taking advantage of others. Those people exist, and unfortunately they are in plenty of businesses.

I came to the conclusion the Dash was very poorly built. A 6" drop broke one. I've seen iPhones survive multiple falls from 3ft+, so I have my...

Why is verify history needed? I've never used this on the same server since backups are usually known quantities. It's on a DR server I might check since I don't...
