  1. Great chat! Your chats help those of us with little to no hardware experience a lot.

  2. That Visual Basic sure was “Halloween SCARY!”

  3. Damn, I always miss the chats… are they recorded somewhere? There only seems to be “shipping orders LIVE” on the Ustream page 🙁

    Thanks!

  4. we do not record the chats, these are “live” chats.
