"I've known Bill Rice, founder of Chi Rho Technologies, since we were kids playing tag with oil tankers in Boston Harbor on his small runabout. So when he started Chi Rho, I knew it would be a first-class operation. As we were tossing about ideas as to how we could improve my original web site, he suggested that I have a theme song play as the site opened. For this, all he needed was the title of a song I liked. His extensive research came up with five versions; each better than the next. As a result, he matched the song perfectly to the tone of my page. His graphics are top notch and I would highly - and I have - recommend Chi Rho Technologies to any one who needs a first rate web site."

Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistence."
