5 yrs is a long time in things web - good work Craig (& Steve too).

Thanks, Derek.

Yes, 8052.com survived the dot com "bust." I think that's mostly because 8052.com was never part of the "boom." We didn't try to get venture capital funding, go out and hire a staff, and issue an IPO. That would have been silly and would have never worked--but that's true for many of the dot.coms that went out and tried to do just that. :)

I am just happy that most of our advertisers/sponsors have been able to make it through the recession without having to cut their 8052.com advertising. They have allowed 8052.com to exist without it having to be an out-of-pocket expense for me. Paying for 8052.com out-of-pocket would have been tough, especially with the economy of the last year and a half.

Let's hope for a few more worthwhile 'Product Reviews' and 'User Pages' in the next 5 years ...

I, too, hope we see both more product reviews and user pages. I do have two products I need to review here, so there should be at least two more reviews coming soon. But if anyone else has anything to review product-wise, please let me know!
