I could see it coming and HATED EVERY SECOND of it. Then it happened even sooner than I expected and the impact was huge. The actor really gave that character life, and impact when the death happened, great talent.

It was a fun show. I really enjoyed it, a fictional run through the 80s and 90s computing industries.

UpToDate is SUCH an awful company, pure rent taking. For site licenses, you just give them your sites' IP addresses and they program them into their firewall. No account management at all. INSANELY high prices. We replaced them with Op

Yeah, why the hell is Meta wa5tching people's videos either? Why PAY a company to invade our privacy and watch our videos? It's flipping BIZARRE.
