Boston
Most of you may not agree with me posting this on the 4:cast site but I need to do it so please bear with me. This morning I read two things that created complete polar opposites in emotion. As a father there is a need and desire within me to protect my children no matter…

How F-Response Saved Christmas
Those who know me will attest to the fact that I love F-Response but today it really came to the rescue. I’m doing an imaging job in the Dallas area. The client wants me to image four servers, three of which are business critical and can’t be out of use between 6am and 7pm. So,…
