accolades
 CompuSmile
has received numerous accolades from noteworthy accolades-bestowing
organizations. Though I'm not at liberty to detail said accolades
on my site, I'm more than happpy to tell you all about them if
you call or e-mail me.

Here's hoping for another accolades-receiving year in 2008!
