We are MOVED!
Aug 16th
Well the site has moved to a new account at a different hosting provider, with much more disk space and data traffic. This will allow me to publish complete Virtual Machines on my site 
So soon you can download a complete VM with a running Virtual Machine Order Hotline in it!
Also I am working on a new mind blowing project, a new piece of software that will be even more amazing then the Virtual Machine Order Hotline, so keep watching this space!
Also if you have content (Virtual Technology related) and you need a place to put it, please contact me.
