Episode notes

I bought this PCI Express card probably about eight months ago. It was before to be able to see by a good amount. I DM Jim Dowrymple before buying it because he and I are friendly. He doesn't leak his secrets to even to friends, so he just never responded. And then the new Mac Pro gets announced and there's no slots. Oh, I should have listened to Jim's non-message more closely. Cause that is not reusable in anything except for another Mac Pro.
