@daringfireball Thanks for the gift link, great story. I loved (as we called them) “microcomputers” in the 1970’s & owned many of them, writing articles in early magazines & making a great career programming them in the US & Europe. Still love personal computing & just setup my ~25th Mac since 2009 🙂

@Cdespinosa @daringfireball Love the use of /me, wonder how many will remember the syntax origin

@Cdespinosa @daringfireball It was fun to see you pop up in the paper but I think it’s much cooler that you’re here hanging out with all of us! I first read about you in… “Fire in the Valley”, maybe?
