So I guess it is time to say goodbye.
I will say this list has always lived up to the tagline "The friendliest place on the Net!"... I was here when that quote was first uttered:

Hey everybody,
I just want to say that this is the friendliest place on the Net.
...and in so many ways it is still true.
I have met (or gotten to know better) some really cool folks here:
* Eric the list mom.
* Ralph & Ashish of course. The Mac2400 site convinced me to buy one
* Sydney We *are* going to run One Lap someday, right Sydney?
* Brandy
Who never fails to entertain! If you ever get up to the Seattle area let me know Brandy - we can take the E-type for a spin... you can drive.
* Woz
Long gone from the list I think, but who graciously allowed me to set up a meeting between himself and my then summer intern Tom Owad of AppleFritter.com fame. Everyone should get the chance to meet one of their heros.
* Ivan Drucker Who posted the first 2400c take-apart instructions IIRC.
* All the Mod'ers
Especially Peter Liethen & Dr. Bob - without their encouragement and examples the green 2400c would never have existed!
* Of course all the folks whose precious PowerBooks they allowed me to fix or modify for them. Two stand out in memory though and deserve mention. Brian Kameoka, who I did some upgrades for, and who presented me with the most unusual gift in exchange. And "RLF" who turned me into a verb. =)
I'm pretty sure that I will always retain the ability to disassemble, repair, modify, paint, and upgrade 2400c's, so I'm still willing to perform CPU, RAM, disk upgrades, as well as those famous "goolsbeed" cooling copper heatsink mods. So Ralph, leave me up on the Mac2400 site for that, OK?
If *any* of you ever see me at a MacWorld Expo or whatever stop and say "hi"... The "friendliest place" should extend to the real world as well. =)
See ya.
