Today I honor my two Public Relations mentors, Wing Lam of Wahoo's Fish Taco and Greg Smith of Commpro. The day flies as I whirl between working on DNS servers, cleaning up code, creating new pages and writing up scopes for software.

If your computer takes forever to boot up, or run slowly throughout the day, it may suffer from start-up bloat. It's common ailment as we continue to add new hardware, software and tools to our computer.
