Brainshare lineup looks impressive
Even though I've avidly followed the company for the last few years, I can't remember Brainshare having a lineup of speakers like this. Am I mistaken? Scott I suppose you'd have a pretty good clue on this. It would seem that Novell will get a pretty good shot at the media spotlight next week - here's hoping that they make the best of it!!!!
