Comments on: It's Coop's -30- column: Adios, sorta

I'm outta here. But before signing off one final time, I did want to tip the hat to acknowledge you, the readers, for making it one very fun ride.

by Random_Walk April 22, 2009 7:54 PM PDT: Charles: Good luck, man. I've enjoyed reading your columns (most of that time in pure lurker mode) ever since somebody @CNET got a leak about Linus Torvalds' speech on upcoming 2.6 kernel goodies... off the Linux Lunacy cruise... in 2002. Within six hours of his speaking it. We were all flabbergasted (at $10/hr rates while sharing the then-newfangled " internet cafe' " link off the ship across six laptops).; Like this Reply to this comment

I have no idea where -30- came to mean "end" in the newspaper business, but it was that way for many years before I left the biz.; Like this Reply to this comment

I hope that I get a chance to follow what you do on CBS and I'm sure you will be a postitive contributor.
Best,

Best of luck and much success to you on the new project!; Like this Reply to this comment
