So you were the one who almost gave Schaeffer a heart attack, lol! He mentioned that one of his web people put the announcement on the production server instead of the test staging server, or something like that, and almost jeopardized the whole thing.
That is interesting, isn't it? Is your picture on his dartboard?

Yes, Jonathan is a very nice guy! I've only sent him a few emails, but he has taken the time to nicely respond to each one.LiquidNitrogenOverclocker wrote:That sounds like Jonathan, he is a very nice guy.Mark wrote:I emailed Jonathan after his update came out and he thanked me for the "contribution" to his book!LiquidNitrogenOverclocker wrote: That is interesting, isn't it?

So, I added this page:
