Congrats! Sorry you're losing your cool toys...perhaps you'll have the chance to find some new ones down the road. Stay safe.

Congrats and condolences.
At least you can still play with the toys in your other job.

Congratulations 18C4V.
Giving up the toys is hard, especially when the "personnel problems" start rolling in. But, its still worth it.
