At long last, the new “Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 Unleashed” book is finally in my hot little hands!! To prove the authenticity of this photo, many of you will recognize my infamous ‘giant‘ wristwatch and the 3 Stooges poster in the background. đ
A huge thanks goes to lead author Eriq Neale who really did an awesome job, and to Loretta and all the great folks at SAMS Publishing for all the hard work in getting the book published – plus an additional ‘mega-thanks’ for getting me a copy on Launch Day! Woo-hoo!!
The books’ contributing authors and editors are a world-wide team of Microsoft MVPs and folks from the SBS newsgroup and user group community who really know their stuff: Amy Babinchak, Susan Bradley, Frank Clark, Henry Craven, Javier Gomez, Chad Gross, Anne Stanton & Edward Walters. Plus, they let me write some too đ
If your pre-order hasn’t shown up from Amazon.com yet (ISBN 0672328054) be sure and come to the December KYSBSUG meeting in Louisville tomorrow (12/14/05) and check the book out in person. We’ll have free pizza and soft drinks at the book launch party, and you’ll get a virtual tour of the book’s contents. We’ll also talk about Windows Server 2003 R2 and Exchange Intelligent Message Filter (IMF). Lotsa geek fun!
I don’t know about you, but I’m completely in nerd-vana. And my weekend is now officially spoken-for! Happy reading all!
