Robert sent me the link through IM earlier today that he discusses in this post.

Now if we could just get someone in the US to fund some PSA’s, maybe show ’em during the Superbowl or something.

Yeah I know, dream on..

    My new work PC has a 40GB hard drive, 2Ghz processor and 512MB of RAM. I’ve processed thousands of records from our membership database without so much as a blink’s worth of drag on system performance.

    Last night I listened to the latest In the Trenches podcast. Kevin and his guest, Chuck Tomasi were discussing a number of issues that I feel strongly about, and have been reminded of recently in my own workplace.
