For example, in the January/February 2021 issue Michigan History, I found the article, “Wright Here in Michigan’s Twin Cities.” Now, I’m not a big Frank Lloyd Wright fan, but my interest was certainly piqued when I read that Howard Anthony, the founder […]

Since then, I’ve had a bit more success with the PiSDR distribution, but I still wouldn’t say that I’m happy with the performance.
