Very informative

Craig keeps us up with what is going on in the technology world both good and bad. He lets us know the actual truth, not the version with the "media spin". What technology that is good and what technologies to watch out for. With his many years of experience in the technology field he is the voice of reason and more people need to pay attention to what he is telling us. I have been listening to Craig for a long time and will continue to as long as he is doing this. Craig, keep up the good work!
