Soft Reset Show #12 features a Skype conference call with Tony, Mike, and a graduate class in Lexington, South Carolina. Educators in the class pose great questions for Tony and Mike to respond to. Also, find out who bought all of Palm's remaining Zire 72s. Be sure to listen for Mike to learn a new handheld term: silo.
