The Mac Geek Oh, uh, yeah. Thanks folks. It is the Mac Geek Cab Premium and it is Thursday. Did you say the 6 John? It is. It's October 6th. So we are here. We had this

show scheduled to record today and as I'm sure most of you know, but if you don't, please sit down.

Steve Jobs passed away last night. Not exactly a huge surprise given his health and the recent events

with his retirement and all of that. But with this show schedule we John and I talked about this a lot actually earlier today and it was do we not do a show it's it seemed

Simultaneously it seemed strange to just do a regular show and also maybe that that would actually be a great thing to do but but we decided that that we weren't quite ready to do a regular show today so we decided we would sit and in our own way reflect on a lot of the good that came into our lives and collectively, right? I mean we're a community here that came into our lives and collectively, right?

I mean, we're a community here.

That came into all of our lives.

You know, I have to, and I, there's one particular thing

that impacted both of us, John,

that I think would be a good place to start but I want to say that

When I found out about him passing away and I of course you know being what we do I found out about it very shortly after it was announced.

And the first thing that I did was,

I was in very much business mode.

It was similar to when he retired.

It was a shock of news, but it was, okay,

I need to call Brian because he was on, you know, on duty at

TMO and just make sure he knows so that he can, you know, write up his story and

we'd had an obituary prepared and that sort of thing.

And there's actually an interesting story behind that

and how it actually got deleted.

And we had to rewrite it.

Jeff actually rewrote it last night.
