Re: The Tech Report forums got a big upgrade

Considering the subjects of the latest messages on the blog, it looks as if the Tech Report tries to change into an information management blog, instead of a tech blog. Considering the capacities of the latest processors and technology, that might be a wise take. Nevertheless, I like their system g...
