Introduction
DFI? Well I did not know that they existed at all until a few months ago when the local computer store got them in their stock. I took a chance and mailed them and wondered if they wanted to sponsor us? Well they did and Coco at DFI is really good at keeping the connection so I have to give her a special thank you from us at R&B!
