[Tfug] DakotaCom and Gain Merger. Was Simply Bits? - Strike 1

[Benjamin Krein]

Senor bigj!

You are sorely missed at Dako I'm sure.  I'm glad I was gone before 
you.  I think you really need to move here to Philly and start up your 
own ISP so I can colo with you and move on to rule the world!

Seriously, I'm sorry to see Dako change.  It was such a nice ISP when I 
worked with you there and I only hope it continues to be for all it's 
current and future customers. 

PS, How's life Jon?  We should chat sometime.
