Man, Gil-Scott, that got my attention! Cool content about stuff that matter with new Techs, Icing.. I appreciate the effort. Two years of commitment under contract for a new component, that's about 3500 grand! And they still want more? Thanks for the eye openers and Digital City is on my Do list. Note: I purchased a white Mac for my wife in Feb. 09, in June its old school, go figure. But it will run Snow, G5 won't, tuff stuff. Maybe we can get some look ahead from our friends and broadcast that? "Or hit em in the head with a bottle."
