I too e-mailed Rory right after the event, sharing

I too e-mailed Rory right after the event, sharing my feeling that Amazon AWS was the better solution and he should stick with it, given my experience on AWS. I was shocked this morning to find that he took the time to e-mail me at 10:55 PM his time (I am on the east coast so was long asleep by the time his email arrived)! His mailbox must have been overflowing, and it shows true dedication after the disappointment/frustration/anger with Microsoft, to be up answering e-mails from shareholders at 11 PM last night!!

As matzaball said, the way Rory responds and acts when times are tough is a real credit to him. Last night was a minor bump in the grand scheme of things, and we know Verb will recover and do even greater things.
