What anniversary is being celebrated in this episode?
There is in the show notes document, there is something that's pre-show, colon. Casey has something that's about 60 seconds, barring tangents. Now, this is us, right? Well, no, I think Casey's talking about himself. He causes his own tangents in the middle of his own thought, and that leads to long digressions. You know, that reminds me. No, I'm just kidding. So I have to bring us to our favorite, our mutual, the three of us, our collective favorite corner, which is... uh anniversary corner because today as we record is march 11th of 2026 can you i think we should you should force us both to guess because i have no idea what this is the anniversary of marco you have any idea is it i mean it could be our show we started it sometime in the early part of the year so it could be the show i'm gonna say the show i thought it was february well uh neutral was january 11th
or something like that, maybe 17. I'm forcing myself not to, but I honestly have no idea what this is the anniversary of, Casey. Please tell us. All right, so I will put a link in the show notes, but this is a tweet from the 11th of March, 2013 from Casey Liss. Listen to Marco Arman, Syracuse, and I talk tech if cars isn't your thing. The Accidental Tech Podcast at ATP.FM. So we are 13 years in as of today, gentlemen. Look at us go. Very nice. That was the publication of episode one? I believe that's right. I'd have to look. I think that's right. Yeah, hold on. We have really good URLs, so it won't be too long. Yes, we do. Oh, but that was, no, it wasn't episode one. No, see, look, I was right. Yeah, you were right.
February 7th. All right, my bad. So, but that was. Here's the easy URLs, atp.fm slash one. You never double checked it. Well, no, because if you recall, the first few were actually on SoundCloud or something like that. Yeah, we didn't have our own website yet. And we didn't have our own website. Yeah, check out my SoundCloud. We should have said that. That's right. But anyway, episode four was released the 11th of March, 2013, and is a scant one hour, 18 minutes and 47 seconds. Yeah, episode one is 14 minutes. Can you imagine? Never did that again. It was accidental. I don't think we've done a pre-show in 14 minutes until maybe, maybe today. This is the 60 second one with no tangents. We're going to do it. You had talked last week about one of your posts breaking containment.
I don't know if we would go so far as to say it went viral, but it certainly got some attention. And Thomas Dixon was, I guess, the first person of many to point out, oh, people probably don't know that the Mac Pro exists. And assumed you were talking about the MacBook Pro, which starts at $1,700. And I think Thomas is right. Yeah, this is my post at Broke Containment being seen by an audience that has no context for me or my deal or anything. And so when I posted about comparing the MacBook Neo's performance to the Mac Pro's performance in single-threaded and the price of the two of them and yada yada, people misinterpreted it in various ways. And I got a lot of people correcting me on the price because I said the Neo is whatever, $600 and the Mac Pro is...
What is it? $7,000 or something? I don't know. Whatever it was, I looked up the prices. I put them in there. The prices were correct. The product names were correct. And people were like, oh, I'm sorry. It's $1,700. You got the price wrong. And I thought most of them were confused because when I wrote MacBook Neo, they were reading MacBook Pro because $1,700 is the price of the MacBook Pro. Lots of people wrote in to tell me they thought people were confused, not that MacBook Neo was being misread as MacBook Pro, but rather that... Mac Pro was being misread as MacBook Pro because some people call the MacBook Pro the Mac Pro because I touch, you know, people just and and it's not no confusion for them because they have no idea that a computer called the Mac Pro exists.
So some people did confirm some of the confused people when I corrected them did confirm they said, oh, I misread Mac Pro to be MacBook Pro.
