  Just left Blain's workshop at the Microsoft bldg. in Ft. Lauderdale.  It was awesome.  I am currently upgrading our servers to On Prem Virtualization for now and hopefully can convince the Management to get us to the Hybrid sooner or later.  I could use the help as a single person IT "team"! LOL!  Thanks for all the help you give us small companies as well.  I look forward to the next event.
