From The Editor.
Dear Colleagues,
Clients and Friends: 
Late last week,
my father Masti Birol passed away at the age of 96. In lieu of
a letter, please accept a link to the

features and catch me at one of the exciting upcoming events
in this month's letter.
Sincerely,
Andy

All the Business in Technology, Where's the Technology

owed money and not getting paid is always disturbing and
disrespectful to you and your company. You counted on
the cash and undoubtedly had it earmarked for some
critical purpose.

selling to the best market segments at the right time.
