When you say it seemed to work, I was going to say, like, you have these gaming laptops, but honestly, they're gaming desktops that are just bad desktops, because, like, who's using a gaming laptop not plugged in? Your performance will tank. So, were you using this, you had removed the battery and disposed of it properly, but the thing would still boot if you just plugged it into power?
Because you were trying not to explode.

I moved to the Mac roundabouts of 2008. And I think that's right. And I was still a Windows developer by trade until, oh, geez, 2016 or so. But I don't think I've spent more than five minutes using Windows since I left that job. Not the most recent job. Since when I got my most recent job. So I haven't really used Windows since 2016. It's been almost 10 years. And it's glorious. It's so great.

Because I don't have to worry about this. I just don't care. Do not care. And I know this is coming for me because there's probably going to be a gaming PC in my future. Little do I know. But right now, ignorance is less. Oh, it's so great.

Mm-hmm. All right, let's do some follow-up, and we have to start with a genuine and heartfelt thank you to our ATP listeners. It is no longer September, so it is no longer Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. However, during the month of September— Relay and ATP, but mostly Relay, raised over $1 million. As I sit here tonight, $1,061,652.04. And that is truly incredible.

The last year record, last year was the previous record for Relay, and that was somewhere to the order of $776,000. Here we are A year later, over a million dollars. And I want to say from the bottom of my heart, and I know I speak for you too, thank you so much to everyone who gave a dollar, $5, $10, doesn't matter, any amount of money. Thank you to all of you.

Look at what we have accomplished together. Truly, we have accomplished this together. And that's something to be extremely, extremely proud of. And I hope that anyone who donated feels some amount of ownership over this because you do have some amount of ownership over this. I will, as a final note for this year, I will remind you that corporate matching is a thing.

And if you go to stju.org slash Relay, there's a little bit of information about employer matching and how you can get credit or how Relay can get credit for an employer match, perhaps based on your own donation. So please check it out. But don't feel like you can't donate for the rest of the year or the beginning of next year. You certainly can. That's fine. Nobody's going to complain.
