Note: I've never had an AMD chip, ever. I'm sure there are others that
way. I've just recently started buying high-end laptops with Ryzen
CPUs, I suppose I should try. There are some amazing older chips out
there with lots of cores that I keep hearing about for homelabs...

I worked with Bob at eBay, he was an incredibly smart man and
personable. Not sure why he wouldn't have stayed longer, but sounds
like they wanted someone with more industry experience. I think he was
also getting ready to semi-retire.

Yeah, for a company to have built the foundation of desktop computing
to not be there anymore would be strange indeed.
