This cracks me up so bad. In my awkward teen years, I used to always see Linus on G4 and his early YT days. It's funny seeing how far things have come, changed... but Linus hasn't. Never change. Alex, Riley, Jake and everyone else are all great. You could do nothing and let all your employees host, work - but you still do it. One of the biggest things that has me coming back - the feel hasn't changed after all these years. It doesn't feel like some big commercial YT channel. Even though you're a multi-million dollar business now. Enjoy the same goofiness that has always been present- 10+ years now, shaking my head as you vertically build PCs, and the outlandish things you love doing with tech. Never change. PS. You never looked like a lesbian, don't let some stupid kids bully you on the internet.

I remember seeing Linus and his ridiculous AC-cooled computer at CapLan way back then. I thought that he was still using his massively-overclocked Barton CPU at that time, but maybe I'm remembering wrong. After he lugged it in he had to run the air conditioner for a while to chill the loop before he could turn it on. What a machine it was.

So many desks! I was born in 1967 and the desk I have in my office right now has been in my family all my life; a beautiful Scandanavian design that my parents were into at the time, with a leaf that supports thre monitors, and which I use all day as a home office. It seemed small as desk went when I was little but now it's good sized and vet sturdy. I've used it as mine since about 1985. It's supported probably 8-9 computers in that time starting with an Apple Iic. Can't imagine working from anything else.
