Exciting Reformatting News
Finally had time to reformat and reinstall the other day, and discovered some amazing revelations. First, I’m still very much a geek, writer aspirations and others aside, and I still actually find such a thing as reformatting and reinstalling apps on my PC exciting.

My long time client whose roots are deeply nested into the local I.T. Distributorship scene (she used to work in a major Distributor and now runs a Dealership for a well-known gadget brand) floored me recently when she agreed to offset my retainer for a laptop when I broached the idea recently.
