Robin Good reviews Groove v3.0 Beta
Dying to get an in-depth look at Groove v3.0 but not eligible for the beta program? Check out this (very positive) review from Robin Good, Italy’s ambassador of collaboration. If you haven’t heard of him, he’s someone who truly “gets” the essence of Groove, but is not shy about pointing out its shortcomings. This makes his opinions more valuable than most.
Excerpts:
For now Groove v3 passes all my tests with near maximum scores.
Performance of Groove v3 is from a different planet.
The Launchpad is a little masterpiece of cleanliness, precision, simplicity and organization. UI designers pay attention please, this is reference work!

As someone who uses three different PC’s on a regular basis, only a couple weeks into using 3.0 Beta, I don’t know how I got along without GFS. It truly changes the way you view computing. Get in on the Beta, and you can play along, too.

Dinner Date
There is, apparently, a restaurant in Salem called “Red Raven’s Love Noodle“. Clearly, this must be investigated. They currently have no web site, but I managed to dig up their old homepage in the Wayback Machine. Looks fun!
Groove V3
Groove V3 is making the rumor pages… If you’re a paid customer, you’ll should really join up with the Beta program. The last major release of Groove came out last February, and we haven’t exactly been twiddling our thumbs for the past year
