Doug Hennig gives some of the latest news about FoxRockx , along with showcasing the splashy new logo. At 99$ a year online and only $138 for printed and online, definitely a bargain for news and articles by some of the best writers in the community. Can’t wait for the web site to be live!
No….not me (yet!)…but the FoxShow just turned 50! After 49 not so regular episodes starting in March of 2005, we’ve hit 50 with hopefully the last of the rushed episodes (rootkit, rebuild, repeat as I mentioned earlier) but also with a great interview with Alan Stevens.
