Here in Australia it's already approaching New Year's Eve, so let me take a moment to say Happy New Year to readers around the world. I want to thank all those who support TweakGuides, and who take the time to read what is on this site. I can't make any promises but I'll try my best to provide interesting new material in the coming year. In any case I wish all of you a very happy and prosperous 2009. I'll end this post with a quote to ponder: "Those who don't build must burn. It's as old as history and juvenile delinquents." - Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451.
