The VAR Guy is enjoying unseasonably warm weather here in New York, near Long Island’s Gold Coast. It won’t quite be a Great Gatsby weekend, but the forecast looks promising for our well-hidden blogger. But before The VAR Guy  heads out for some rest and relaxation, here are the nine most read technology news and channel partner stories from our blog network — The VAR Guy, MSPmentor and Talkin’ Cloud — for the week ending March 9, 2012.
