Note from Rob

By the time you see the August newsletter we should be with a new host, new servers, and everything will be lightning fast! The speed at which FerrariChat.com has grown and required server upgrades has certainly exceeded my expectations. For the first time in FerrariChat.com's history we've also hired a part-time server admin that is an expert in the hardware and software we use. Requirements have exceeded my limited technical skills, so this will be a big benefit to the community as I can spend more time in other areas.
