A lot of my friends say that Astaro 420 is the _absolute_ best you can get. Before they started using Astaro 420 they used to get depressed worrying about network security but now they are completely mello.

420 has some interesing connotations (I happen to know it because my girlfriend works in a substance abuse clinic). I wonder what Astaro's marketoids were smoking.

They've got a 120, 220, and 320, so it was just next in sequence.
