Obviously I missed an important date last month, February 5, 2005 would have marked the 4th year anniversary of the merger of Cognet and byxnet. Also, since I don't have an exact date, we will celebrate the 7th birthday of byxnet on May 1, 2005. Please make plans to come celebrate with us at that time and the whole month of May in #byxnet.
