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.

May you find happiness and success in your new ventures. You will be missed.
So, now the guys there, when the phone rings for you at work, they can reaspond "Dave? Dave's not here!"

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".

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 ;^)

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.

Oh, I agree. How dare anyone do anything but the most serious of PC builds in the most expensive case one can find...

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.

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.

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?

Dave, so sorry to see you go. You were the highlight of the podcast, informative and funny. Neither MPC nor this podcast will be the same without you.
Good luck

I couldn't say it better. Dave, we'll miss you, but we'll get by... *goes and cries in the corner* yeah.. we'll be fine...
I'll never forget the cardboard rig, or Fort Murphy, or the pac-man hat... so many memories... *sobs uncontrollably*

AWWW fuck I just spent over an hour downloading the wrong file on my dial-up. You guys put a link to episode 78 in the "the podcast gang" part.
Also, DAAAAAVE DON'T LEEEEEEAVE!!!! I LOVE YOU! Oh shit. IN A HETEROSEXUAL WAY! HETEROSEXUAL!
SWEET MUUUUURRPHEEEE! *cries*

Better be careful about what you say. What if Dave is gay. Unless you aren't joking in which case have fun mating.
