[DLSLUG-Discuss] Fwd: [DLSLUG-Announce] TONIGHT: ZFS: The Last Word in Filesystems

[Mike Diehn]

I think it was very thoughtful of you to raise the issue and I'm glad  
someone did.  Thanks!  I'd bet we'll find the roads are OK tonight.   
The plows are out in force and the roads were clear at 10:00 this  
morning.  I bet the roads are a little damp this evening, but I doubt  
they're frozen badly.

Best,
Mike
