Notable quotes

“I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on my first new inbox pin. I'm an old school classic guy but I like Rush and it's the classic band.”
George
“Hell yeah, get the LE. You deserve it. You're working hard. Get it.”
Maureen (George's wife)
“You put it in backwards? Yeah. So did I really do bad?”
George
“Bally actually puts a nice little symbol on here on how you should orient your transistor, and you ignored that, George.”
Dave
“I heard that there's going to be 1,000 of them. That's correct. 1,000. Okay. And they're all spoken for.”
George and Dave (confirming)
“You never know who's listening. And he also complimented us, saying, well, it was just two guys I didn't know that were online. I wouldn't care. But you guys are known. People listen to you.”
George (recounting feedback)
“I'm an analog kid in a digital world.”
Dave
“When you're retired, time to me is infinite. I got all the time in the world.”
