Message From Wade:

Can somebody slow this world down! It just feels like yesterday this year started, and now we are facing down Christmas. October found the Panda unbelievably busy finishing up several upgrades, and bringing on several new clients. The new web hosting, domain and email services are coming together and everyday we are bringing more and more people into the the world of reliable and effective hosting. As well, we continue to have great success with our custom hosting running PeopleSoft Upgrade Labs, Training & Demonstration environments and PeopleSoft ERP Production environments.

Do you want/need to have that conversation?

I have found you can create a cert7.db file using Netscape v4.7.3 or earlier according to various websites.

Panda + Community

Well, it would appear that the lead up to the Christmas season is when the Panda seems to get really involved with the community. This past month we were able to get out and help a local group by installing a new floor in one of their apartments. Next week The Panda will be out with our Rotary Club assisting Local Legion 41 collect donations for Poppies in support of our Veterans - Remember To Remember.
