This review is from: Sharing Bandwidth (Paperback)

Finally, a place to find lots of information, usually scattered to the many technological winds, in one place! I've found a few strategies to help me use what I have more efficiently and I am imagining greater things for my own setup and my company's. I enjoy St.Laurent's books and am happy to have a place to sing their praises.
