Hello and welcome to Mac Power Users. My name is Stephen Robles and joined by my friend and yours, David Sparks. How's it going, David? It's going great, Stephen. You're getting used to saying that? Welcome to Mac Power Users. I know. I think that's maybe the first time I did the intro intro. So yeah, I was sure I got it right. Again, so much positive feedback. In fact, we kind of blew up a little bit on social media in our little nerd circle this week, didn't we?

We did.

It'd be ashamed of something happened to them. it'd be a shame if something happened to them.
