Letting Go of SMO:

Full Disclosure: Columnists are rarely experts. With today’s technology-intensive lifestyles, there are people who write columns in tech publications who can actually give you some useful advice on how to improve the speed of your computer.

That said, you should also know I love airplanes. My father was a pilot when I was a kid and there was nothing that topped taking a ride with him in a single-engine Cessna on a Sunday afternoon.
