Since we at MiserWare released the MicroMiser Beta for Windows in mid-January, we have had a massive influx of new users eager to try out the software.

Recently in our basement-made-office we have experienced an influx in Girl Scout cookies, as the girls upstairs are all girl scouts, and our company was goodly enough to purchase some from them.
