Summer 2008: It's a Wrap!

It seems like just yesterday we were at the beginning of the Summer, doesn't it?  So, here we are, at its close, the Autumnal equinox. 

Where does the time go?  Why is it that time passes more quickly as you age?  Summer would last 'forever' when I was a kid.

Anyhow, enough of that.  I am getting over it. 

I thought I would put together some notable IT Tech Highlights of the Summer of 2008 for you.

• openSUSE 11.0
• Google Chrome
• Firefox 3.0
• Microsoft buys more Novell SLES/SLED Certificates ($100M worth by Nov. 1 2008)
