There is a new Microserver in town but what makes it better than the last generation? Listen in to hear all the details and whether or not you should get the last gen or step up to the new Gen8 Microserver.  Also, at the end of the show I’ll list all the give away items i’ve collected so far for the 2013 Meetup. Enjoy and see you in the forums.

Thanks to John, Kevin, Chris, and Jim for recording episode 227 with me.  This is a great group of guys and you can find them in the HSS forums. Join and chat today.

Youtube available here.
