MR UPDATE

 
Hi folks,
Apologies for the lack of updates last week. First there was the need to move MR to a new server and operating system. Then my email crapped out and finally I threw my PC out the window.  So its Monday and I have an updated PC, the new server is running without issue (so far!).
 
So let's get back to business - get ready for a few MRR sale items and also new previews of the MRR releases announced in the last couple of weeks.
Cheers!
