Year:2007

This is a brief summary of various events in the PPC, Real World Time and HST-wise, during the year 2007.

(Note: Links to the Board older than 2012 are broken thanks to YourWebApps deciding to be evil. Fortunately, Tomash archived everything as far back as mid-2008, and hS put all that plus scattered post titles from even earlier up in a set of Gdocs for posterity.)
