Oh man, that's an old school name.

I miss cranky geeks, to the point where I've gone back to listen to older episodes.

> I miss cranky geeks

Read my cranky posts about what an abomination Unicode has become!

I do too and was lucky to help work on the show with him, was a total blast and humor was really a part of it as well which I loved
I miss them so much, I became one!
How can you miss cranky geeks when HN is full of them?
We miss each other.

But it’s ok. We’ll meet again at the great Apple Store in Heaven.

In heaven, macOS is GNU-licensed. GPL3+, nothing less.

Apple Store? Surely you mean Babbage's.
The Weird Stuff Warehouse also didn't close their Heaven branch. I heard they are running a promotion on Tektronix calligraphic display terminals. In heaven, they are still being made and now have fast ethernet connections, as well as serial.
Hell gets Windows.
In Heaven, even Windows is under GPLv3+. That's why nobody uses it.
Careful, it's against the guidelines to be a cranky geek now.
So that’s why it keeps telling me I’m posting too fast.
You turn that frown upside down this instant.
