Extremely reliable source (completion/retention).

maybe we could get luckey, gn goes under and astraweb picks up the hardware, then we'll end up with 600 something days retention... lol...
To the the Giganews Staff that LURK these threads....... Offer me your retention for astraweb prices and maybe I'll think about looking into joining you.
