RSBANDBUpdate! 96 - Spades United

Spades United has dug a trench along the wilderness border. Brad and I have successfully figured out what the other members of this house of cards did during the digging of the trench. We also have the usual questions, tech news and rants. This show was recorded live on Thursday April 19, 2007 on Talkshoe.com. Thanks to everyone who came and listened live and chatted with us! RSBANDBUpdate! 97 will not be recorded live. Just a note, Lance’s audio level was a little too low.
