You know, you're in a hotel or you're on a train or a plane. It is unreal, but that's not a problem that I personally find myself needing to fix on a regular basis.

Yeah. And another, I think this has been talked about on Upgrade a lot. I know I keep trying to move on and I keep stopping myself, but this is apparently the Casey has no self-control episode. But I think Upgrade has talked about this a lot, but I have a standing every couple of weeks FaceTime with a handful of our mutual friends, all of whom have vision pros. And

And doing that spatially where Mike, for example, is to my left and Jason is to my right and maybe James Thompson is straight across from me, at the end of that half an hour, hour, 45 minutes, whatever it may be, I feel much more like I was hanging out with people than I do I was on a FaceTime with people.

that at the end of that, there's something about that experience that makes me feel like we were hanging out in person. And I know that sounds bananas, and I would judge me if I were you, but it really does feel different than just a FaceTime. So again, there are very cool, incredible uses for this thing if you happen to have a bunch of friends with too much money and not enough sense.

So I don't mean to be down on the Vision Pro entirely, but gosh, I can't echo what Marco said enough. More content, please and thank you. With regard to the member special, I'm going to try to obliquely bring in some feedback from replyguyxxl, who wrote that for one of the storage media we spoke about, if we were using an Apple-branded device to write to that storage medium…

Those devices typically were very, very, very bad, and there are better ones that existed. So if perhaps, Marco, you lived an all-Apple life in the, I don't know, maybe mid-'90s and probably had an Apple device to write to this particular media, maybe your experience was suboptimal.

Maybe.

Maybe.

Anyway, fair enough, fair enough, fair enough.

In any case, Ian McCullough also wrote that, well, Ian writes, I am slash was a collector of recordings of jam band shows, and I am not here, Marco, to litigate what a jam band is, just to be clear. But Ian writes, I spent more time and money on this silly, obsolete hobby than I'd like to concede.

And one of the storage mediums you spoke about was, all caps, revolutionary to this particular hobby. But I'm here to confirm for you, with over 1,000 data points, what particular brand of media you buy makes all the difference in the world. On the advice of Deadheads, which I think Marco and I can both agree is a jam band, this particular person used Kodak-branded media. Kodak Golds, baby!
