Now that’s festive efficiency. In this issue, we’re wrapping up the year with a mix of insight and holiday spirit: a hands-on review of the EPOS Impact 500, our Christmas wish-list feature, a recap of
Stockies, we wish you a wonderful Christmas, a well-earned break, and a bright start to the new year. n
See you in 2026!
