Congratulations! This is well deserved recognition for Sodbeans. I know one thing: I would never use anything but Sodbeans on a computer where Sodbeans is available. Sodbeans has been a life saver in finding those annoying errors that may cause my code not to compile that I spend hours on trying to hand trace. With Sodbeans, I can cut that hand tracing down to a few minutes on my school projects.

The team is in San Fransisco this week accepting, doing interviews, and generally having a great time.
