[Asterisk-Users] New to asterisk? RUN... don't walk.

[JR Richardson]

Piping in 2 cents,

This is a great example of the Internet, Fast Food generation, showing their
appreciation for all the magic that happens in the labs, hearts and minds of
the courageous, hard working, dedicated and motivated group of people truly
interested and guided to accomplish greatness.

This platform for learning is one of the best tools in existence to come to
a finite understanding of VoIP and legacy telephony with the versatility to
expand beyond and develop originality in the field of telecommunications
excellence, product development.  Learn it, understand it, appreciate it,
then take it past where you found it and if you're capable contribute, if
not, enjoy it.  But always, always maintain respect for those who created it
and continue to refine it.

Learning is intrinsically human, and in this world of Industry ("There is no
substitution for knowledge." [Edward Deming]).  Find your inner child,
re-capture and embrace what God has given you, the ability to learn.  It
will require you to put down the remote control, get off the couch and
decrease your apparently frequent visits to McDonalds.  Search and find the
knowledge which you seek to ultimately fulfill your destiny; build an
Asterisk Server that works.

Hell, we all did.
