[PLUG-announce]Big Datacenter Tour!!

[plug-announce@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us]

I currently have 14/25 signed up.  Plenty of room.  Again, if enough 
people are waitlisted, other arrangements will be made.

If you're a current or aspiring IT professional, this is a wonderful 
business and educational opportunity.  Don't pass this up.
