Exit: Stage Right
Hi all,
All good things come to an end, or so they say. After exactly two years of hunting down and posting Pocket PC related news for Pocket PC Thoughts, I'm stepping down as a member of the news team at Thoughts.
I won't go far, as I will remain on board for an occasional post or review. Mobile computing in general, and Pocket PCs in particular, will remain to be on the top of my list of interests. But I can no longer dedicate as much time as before to that interest, so I thought it best to quit being member of the news team here. I'll go into retirement as far as it concerns the daily updates of this site.
Looking back on my two years here, I can say these were amazing times. When I started, the site looked way different.... Jason had just moved up to a state-of-the-art (and very cool!) blogscript called Greymatter from his initial Blogger based site, and we had some fundamental discussions on the use of images. Back then, bandwidth woes troubled both Thoughts and the readers. If I see where the site is today, I can only applaud Jason for what he has achieved. And I know this achievement has far from ended. Tomorrow (well.... soon!) everything will be even better! I know this site is in good hands with Jason, Andy, Ed, Brad, Janak, Fabrizio, Steven, Chris, Ashley and all the other contributors, so I'll continue to have this as the home page to my browsers. Especially since from now on I'll be depending on their efforts to get the Pocket PC news to me. 
I'd like to end by thanking you, the readers of this site, for all the support I've received and the excellent discussions we've had. A site like this could not exist without the interaction with a community of good people. And our community simply rocks, I'm glad to be part of it! I'll see you around.
Take care,
Marlof

Sorry to see you go Marlof, but I'm glad to hear you'll be sticking around on the message boards. PocketPCThoughts has grown a lot in the past two years, and you're a part of the reason why. You will definately be missed. Good luck to you!
