    Well here it is, December 31, 2009, the end of the first full decade of the Wireless Advisor forums. Joe (JFB) started this site 12 years ago in 1998, just as wireless phones became more important to our everyday life.

    Now we are about to embark on a new decade and a new era for the forums. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here on W.A. (since 9/2004). Though things have been a bit quiet here lately, this is still a great place to share information about all things in wireless mobility.

    Thank you, Joe, for creating this site and keeping it as a valuable resource for wireless information.

    I'm looking forward to the next decade of Wireless Advisor along with the continued progress and growth of the wireless industry. Should be fun to watch!

    Goodbye 2000s, Hello 2010s!!! :clap::cheers::thumb:
    Happy New Year 2010 everyone!!!

    Also, thanks Joe on creating Wireless Advisor and continuing to keep this site active. I can call members on here my cyber "friends" since this site has a much better atmosphere than HoFo. :)

    Happy New Year everyone!! :cheers:

    What does that say? My Indian colleague couldn't read it and thought it might be Tamil?

    It is Bengali, the language of Calcutta; literally translated it says "Auspicious New Year's greetings and best wishes". Same as saying "Greeting & Best Wishes For A Happy New Year".

    ...no, keep with the original/literal translation. I'm digging the word "auspicious" :D

    :O Thanks everybody!

    But....thank yourselves because it is the members that make a good forum!

    I have some ideas for improvements this year, and I want to hear any ideas you all may have. But, that is a topic for another thread........


    Mike, before Larry jumps in ;) ..... one minor correction. We did have a forum back in 1998. The posts just couldn't be imported into the two subsequent forum software packages.

    :cheers:I think I might be one of the only ones left who was actually here posting when the first day of this last decade began (Jan. 1, 2000). :) I believe my first post here was in October of 1999 when we had the old tree format threading and there was no registration required. A lot has changed with the forums as well as the wireless industry during the past 10 years!
