[SGVLUG] OT: reminder for those who went to MS Heroes event togetSQL NOW

[Miguel Hernandez]

Aww, man, I hadn't realized that. Back when Matti first mentioned the MS
Heroes series the only remotely local event was the Anaheim one in April
which I missed. I didn't even think to re-check as I figured MS would be
very rigid w/their scheduling. Thanks for the tip!

Great idea, Matti (thanks again!). Back when I used to work for a software
company like 10yrs ago doing QA on enterprise level backup software, we used
to get the MSDN subscription, too. Talk about being buried in discs. ;)
