No BS Podcast #79: The Goodbye Dave Edition
Posted 09/05/08 at 05:00:26 PM | by The Maximum PC Staff
The podcast gang celebrated a departing coworker! That's right, after almost 78 episodes, Dave is leaving us for greener pastures. We celebrated his accomplishments, mourned the hardware he destroyed, and generally had a good time. Also, we talked about Google's new Chrome browser, Norm's trip to PAX, reader questions, and a whole lot more. Plus, Gordon's world famous Rant of the Week!
Do you have a tech question? A comment? A tale of technological triumph? Just need to get something off your chest? A secret to share? Email us at maximumpcpodcast@gmail.com or call our 24-hour No BS Podcast hotline at 877.404.1337 x1337--operators are standing by.

I always download these on iTunes but i guess they messed up because the one that iTunes gives you as this one is episode 78...

Hey!
The feed in iTunes needs updating/fixed.
I uploaded the latest episode Saturday and it gave me the mp3 from last week.
Please refresh it to the latest, so my library doesn't get junked up like when podcasters make a mistake, and I end up with 5 copies of the podcast on my external.
Oh, and f*^k Steve Jobs. That goes out to Gordon.

Time counts N keeps countin. I'm speakin of long ago, into history back. The days when my machine went up like a big pocyclypse! "PACHHSSSUUUSSHHHHHH"!!! The magazine was calling, and the technology were a wreck, and the kids lost. But one man came upon us, and he fought back Mr. Blue screen of Death! "WOO WOO WOO WOO"! and he lead us out of the dark and brought us here. To this place, where the LCD's are warm and bright. And he be "CAPIN MURPHY!"
FLY MURPHY FLY!!!!!!!
...THANKS FOR EVERYTHING AND GOOD LUCK. I'M SURE WE'LL SEE YOU..."OUT THERE", with a crossbow keyboard under one arm and a Tina Turner under the other
p.s. for the record, I thought the cardboard box case was immensely gutsy. That it worked was even cooler!!!

Aww Dave, I'm bummed you're leaving! MaxPC and the podcast just isn't going to be the same without you. I really enjoyed (and trusted) your reviews, and no one will ever be able to replace your witty banter and great comments on the podcast. All the best in this new venture - I'm sure you're going to have a great time!

Gonna miss your unique writing style, Dave.
Are you gonna invite us all to the wedding? We deserve this much. (I'll bring a keg of your favorite beverage!)
Good luck in the future.

Ah, I thought so lol. But it's too bad really; depending on your height, you could set a record for "Most Freakishly Tall Baby".

Glad I could stir the pot a little. :-)
I suck at contests. I'll stick with the aformentioned keg o' beer option.

Dave,
Even though your sexuallity concerned me, you were my second favorite person at MPC. (Still wating to find out where I can get Gordon bed sheets.) Your intros in the podcast were amazing and I for one am a fan of the cardboard case (even though you still didn't save much because you had to buy a power supply.) Have fun troubleshooting water cooling:)

Hey, I was just kidding on the gay stuff. I'm sure that thing your voice ocassionaly does at the end of a sentence is completely unrelated to your sexual orentation.
P.S:and for the record, I've listened to every podcast since episode 22.

Dave,
Why must this misfortune take place, you were always doin sick stuff for the mag and the podcast. No doubt will the mag ever be the same, no matter who takes your place.
The world has lost an icon.
Good luck wherever you go ;^)
Remember the buget PC build off competition?
Submitted by plaskon on Sat, 2008-09-06 12:00
The time when Dave used a cardboard box as an ATX case?
Not to rip on the guy, but I was among the readers who thought that was very un-MPC.
Submitted by TheMurph on Sat, 2008-09-06 17:01
Oh, I agree. How dare anyone do anything but the most serious of PC builds in the most expensive case one can find...
:D

Vader: Did Obi Wan ever tell you what happened to Murph?
Luke: (with quivering lip) He told me you killed him!
Vader: No, Luke. Dave Murphy left Maximum PC!
Luke: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the great features, reviews, and banter. Best of luck.
Submitted by mightierthanthesword on Sat, 2008-09-06 16:54
NOOOOOOOOOO is right. Don't leave, Dave! Or at least be sure to come back now and then and do guest appearances. Maybe make a surprise appearance at the San Mateo Showdown LAN? Please please?
Enjoy your new job, and know that the podcast will never be the same without you. (Or the budget rigs for that mattter.) And we'll miss reading your articles in the magazine.
Submitted by Keith E. Whisman on Fri, 2008-09-05 23:21
So Dave what did you do to get fired? Actually I'm kidding. I'll miss ya in the mag and the podcast.
Dave good luck and have a happy future. I wish you success at all your future endeavors.
Will will we see a new face in the magazine? Or is the magazine downsizing on employees?
