Off The Grid
I’ve been on holiday for the last week (sunning myself and the family in Cyprus). I had no Internet access – not even TV! Although I had no laptop (or Blackberry this time) I did take my iPod Touch, now configured with the mobile version of NewsGator. As I’ve mentioned previously,...

- BRCD seems to be seeing an uptick today - up 7.6% already - hoping Dell are on the rebound?
- @Storagezilla I didn't think there were any EVA folks any more (natural selection)
- Erm @3parfarley we expect the first SWCSA to be with @hpstorageguy
