Hello Everyone,

For those of you that may not have been informed, it is with the deepest
of sorrow that we inform you of the passing of our friend, brother, son,
and co-host of the "Wizards of Technology" internet podcast, William
"Digital Bill" Douthett. Our dear friend passed away from a sudden heart
attack on October 4th, 2006 at the age of 47. He will be sorely missed by
all who knew and loved him.

The family has made arrangements to hold a small, private funeral ceremony
in Butler, Pennsylvania where Bill's ashes will be laid to rest.

In addition, a memorial ceremony will be held on Saturday, October 14th,
2006 at 3:00pm in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Family and friends will be in
attendance. If you would like to attend, please visit The Wizards of
Technology website for detailed information:

Please dress as you feel comfortable. Whether you'd like to dress
formally or in shorts and sandals, the choice is yours. Bill would not
have wanted it any other way.

Water and soft drinks will be provided, and if you'd like, please feel
free to bring a simple, covered tray of finger food.

Also, we encourage everyone to send us their best pictures of Bill and/or
a short video tribute that we can show at the services. Please send your
submissions to:

mistermarc@wizardsoftechnology.com

When visiting the website, we encourage you to post your condolences,
comments, and anecdotes about our friend Digital Bill. Your notes will be
published on the website and will eventually live on as a digital archive
in tribute to Bill and his legacy of achievements.

Lastly, to help Bill's family shoulder the cost of funeral arrangements,
please consider making a donation in his memory. Look for the "Make a
Donation" button at the website. Any funds in excess of expenses will be
donated to the "Presbyterian Disaster Assistance - Hurricane Katrina
Relief Fund", a charity that has been chosen by the family for memorial
contributions, and a cause for which Bill believed in greatly.

Please forward this message to all of Bill's friends and acquaintances, so
as to assist us in reaching them.

Our prayers go out to his family and friends in their time of need.

Best regards,

Marc "Mister Marc" Asturias
Wizards of Technology

Rest In Peace, Bill.
