NEW NET Issues List for 24 Jun 2008

Below is the NEW NET (Northeast Wisconsin Network for Economy and Technology) final list of issues for TUESDAY, 24 June 2008. Sort of. Because of a two-day roundabout return trip this week from northern California to Appleton, Wisconsin, USA, this list is being posted a couple days after 24 June. And because of the Milwaukee Geek Dinner in which Luke and I participated on 24 June, there was no NEW NET meeting this week. NEW NET should be back to normal, though, with a final issues list and meeting on 01 July 2008. See you then!
