Hey eric, yep still hangin in there. I have been doing a little more research and you know with all the hype on spare backup we have competely ignored the "other" half of the company. Grassroots is also a thriving company in itself. you can just add the dot com and see what I mean. Good Luck to All!

Wonder if we'll have a nice surprise Nov. 11th or if we'll have to wait Feb 2006...
By the way, I found out a review for Spare Switch on CompUSA and one for Spare Backup on Windows Market Place, both 5 stars. Hope more reviews come in.

Everyone have a good Day and Veterans Weekend
