What do you need help with? Joe _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Douglas A.

Tom, thank you very much but I don't think there should be a ranking to valuable people. We are help in ways we can and we all help each other when we can. I would have to say that there are about 20 to 30 different people on this list that have helped me in some way and many that do it everyday! It is just so awesome to be part of a community that helps each other for no other reason that to help each other. It is not about money or fame or some silly award, it is about helping someone solve a problem! We have all checked our ego at the door! I love it!!! On the MIAB front, I've been VERY busy the past month on MIAB4.0. I must admit I got a bit behind as my work has just not permitted me the time it takes to do this and do it well. But, this has changed! I'm committed to a 2-1-06 release of MIAB 4.0 w/ an updated Tuning Tips section and much more. I've very happy with what I have put together and I still have a lot of work to do but I WILL have it done soon. That I promise. Anyhoo, Happy New Year Everyone! DB Douglas A.

All this content together forms the Server Based Computing community for me. This community is run by people whose heart really lies with Server Based Computing. Some of these people are (in no particular order): Brian Madden, Doug Brown, Jim Kenzig, Jeroen van de Kamp and many, many more. I've been so bold as to create a Server Based Computing's MVP of 2005 poll. It would be great if you would cast your own vote on who should be the MVP of Server Based Computing for this year (2005)! Cast your vote here: http://www.thincomputing.net (top right). Thank you in advance for your vote. Your input is crucial! Have a happy new year! Regards, Michel Roth www.thincomputing.net
