The last meeting was a bust.  When we got to O'Rielly there was another
group in our meeting room.  The kitchen, usually our backup meeting
room, was being renovated so we couldn't meet there.  We had some
improvised "lightning talks", but my presentation on VPS's was
postponed.  I will likely give the talk in July, we'll figure it out at
the board meeting tomorrow.

I've been using VPS's for about 2 and half years and I think they are
great, but the real budget one have some issues to be aware of.

Here are a couple of companies that I have used, both for over a year,
and I can recommend:
