Hello and welcome to Connected episode 266. It has made possible this week by our sponsors, Smile, PINGdom, and Fresh Books. My name is Stephen Hackett, and I'm joined by my friend, Mr. Federicoico Vitici. Hello, Steven. How are you?

I am great. I'm excited. We've a lot of fun stuff to talk about. I like hanging out with you all.

It's a good Wednesday so far. Looks like it. I am joined by my other friend, Mr. Mike Hurley.

Why did you say that in that way? What do you mean? Like you paused. You were like my other friend. Like,

I don't understand. The other one. Hmm. Federico will be the other friend next week. That's how

this works. We alternate. We'll say about that. Mike, a funny thing happened to you and I last week.

So I'm just going to, uh, I'm just going to bring listeners in to this situation Mike and I find ourselves in.

So the other day, I'm scrolling up through I message, just trying to find it.

So this was on the 17th, so four or five days ago.

I sent you a link to a rare vintage Apple Parker Roller Pin on eBay. So sometimes I just

cruise the antique Apple, you know, vintage computer section on eBay. I don't believe that it's

true. I bet you have a lot. No, I don't. Honestly, I don't.

Really? I just sometimes if I'm, you know, can't sleep or I'm stuck somewhere, I'm like,

what's going on on eBay? And I found this pen, and I know that you're a pen guy, and I sent it to

you, and I said, uh, I think that this is something that, you know, would

peak your interest.

And you replied.

Is there a pen or is it a pin, Stephen?

It's an ink pen.

I can't say those two words where they sound differently.

I just can't do it.

So, anyways, there'll be a link to this in the show notes.
