I have had my Bold 9930 for a few days now, and am so enthralled with it. It is everything the ol’ Berry needed. After using this, I can’t begin to ponder the idea of going back to my old Bold 9650. I’m not one of these moronic assholes that judge a smartphone solely on how many cutting edge technologies it has or does not have. For example, I won’t discount a device’s capabilities solely on whether or not it has an 8mp camera instead of a 5, or whether or not is has 4G or NFC, or dual cores vs single core. It amazes me to no end how many mainstream tech followers, especially when it comes to younger people and smartphones, will discount and even insult the maker, platform, or users of a piece of hardware if there’s something else available that has higher specs.

I see no need to harp on specs alone but I am not saying they don’t matter. They just don’t need to be bleeding edge to provide a superior experience (which is not universal, but individual only.) There is a certain degree of immaturity and ignorance to “smartphone wars.” So let’s just get away from that and onto MY latest experience.

I am not a “professional” of any kind. I have “been around the block” several times with smartphone platforms and always end up choosing my BlackBerry. Of all of them I’ve had, and as I said earlier, I could not imagine going back! From a 600ish mhz chip to the 1.2ghz chip in the Bold 9930, it marks a world of difference. In terms of spec, not all phones need or could fully utilize dual-core processors. There is a certain amount of waste in taking more of something than you can use. I don’t believe that just because you have a dual-core means your user experience is fully taking advantage of the maximum available capacity of a processor, whereas from my perspective, there are many who believe they are exercising their full spec at all times, and may never actually do so.

Then again, and in this case, this is not a device geared towards people who need to have dozens of games on their phone with massive 3D and so on. That market is it’s own world, and besides, I don’t judge my platform on the number of apps in it’s given store(s), but does it have the app to serve my given need, and how well can it do it. The 1.2ghz chip combined with a nice 768mb of ram give the Bold 9930 excellent horsepower. Everything up to now is “right now.” Snappy, fast, and perfectly smooth. People who understand and utilize the many purposes a BlackBerry can serve in their lives could not know a better experience than this newest breed of BlackBerry 7 devices.

Unlike the Bold 9650 I used to have, this has a bigger screen, a wider body, and thusly a wider keyboard. There are countless reviews out there ranting about how excellent the keyboard is on the 9900/9930 series Bolds, and they are absolutely accurate. For the thumbs, it’s as if there’s a little room to breathe now. I find myself still navigating a lot of things with the trackpad, it’s comfortable and general habit for any BlackBerry user with previous experience. So yes, this does indeed have a touch screen. Thank goodness it’s normal touch screen technology instead of that awful SurePress stuff RIM had come up with. I had a Storm 2 for a while, and while I don’t feel it was as nearly as awful and unusable some people made it sound, it’s quite cumbersome and sort of ridiculous. Touchscreen functionality has it’s places here and it is extremely welcome. It makes browsing longer web pages a lot easier not to mention the convenience of pinch to zoom. Browsing around photos, documents, and controlling the music player are also far more convenient than ever. How much it is used and for what of course will vary with each user. I doubt it was intended as a primary means of interfacing with your BlackBerry, but that is your option, and alongside the optical trackpad you have the means to exercise maximum comfort that you tailor in exactly how you get things done.

One bitch people have in some reviews of the new Bold is the camera, not having auto focus. I don’t know why people believe they should have professional grade cameras in their phones but it just doesn’t work that way. If you are serious about photography, get a real camera! Photography studios and media companies aren’t going to be doing business using smartphone cameras, so go ahead and talk about your phone’s camera specs all day long. Point is; the Bold’s camera is just fine. I think this puppy takes some damn good pictures, certainly well enough so to preserve memories of things, and certainly superior for sharing photos via email or Facebook (read: photos that aren’t of any real consequence down the road.)

The battery life for me has been exactly what I expect from a BlackBerry. I can get thru more than a single day before the need to charge becomes desperate. I attribute some of this to the fact it does NOT use 4g networks, which is fine with me since that even higher data speed is paid for dearly with battery life. I cannot speak on this phone’s NFC capability, as I just leave it disabled. It’s something at present I have absolutely no use for whatsoever.

So, you have a device here that is thin, light, and is built with some resounding quality. You hold it for more than 10 seconds, and you understand immediately. The keyboard, nav buttons, and the borders of the trackpad are all backlit. I appreciate that the entire phone has a stainless steel border. Adds both a touch of class and some durability besides.

In closing, I manage a lot of aspects of my personal life with my BlackBerry. I use it for communication (consider how many things that word really entails), entertainment (keeping memories, photos and videos, listening to music, reading, web and so much more), managing my finances, keeping dates and schedules, and other things I bet I’m forgetting to mention here. As I’ve already said, my BlackBerry so well does all of these things for me and I’m as non-business and non-professional as people come. Given the modern hardware in the 9930, the fallbacks that came with the severely antiquated hardware in previous generations of ‘Berries is no more. You have a nice 1.2ghz chip, 768mb of ram, touchscreen convenience, a 5mp cam that records 720p video, 8gb of built in storage and the ability to add up to a 32gb microSD; to say the least you have a damn nice device. There has never yet been a BlackBerry built that holds a candle to this one. If you’re “on the fence” and so happened to have read this book of a post, trust me, you want a BlackBerry 7 phone. If watching movies and playing games occupy a majority of your smartphone usage, probably not so much. It does not matter that there are QNX devices coming later on, these are fantastic and I cannot recommend then enough.

I started a job, somewhere in the year 2001 I believe it was at a warehouse called Transworld. I also met a great friend whom I admired and respected named Scott Paris. But anyway, at this point in my life I was just a wannabe, truly going no further than daydreaming about being in the music is so passionately listened to, which for me was primarily old school hiphop and various styles of electronica. I had a monster stack of bass tapes before I was even 13
Anyway, I loved the art and magic of the DJ, and at the time I had an ultra cheap pair of turntables and mixer from Radio Shack. I met his, at the time, fiance Rachel. We got along in the beginning I believe because I was talking about music nobody else had heard of except her. She told me her man was a DJ after I told her about my little fantasy. Next day, she came in and Jon told her to tell me “tell him if he spins old school, I think that’s awesome” or something along those lines.

Flash forward just a hair, she had arranged for me to meet him after begging her to hook me up. She wanted me to be able to meet him anyway because she knew me by now and knew how much I loved what I was trying to do. Next thing I knew, Jon was arranging to take me along as a guest to sets he was spinning. I got to watch him work first hand many times. It was thru this and a couple times at his house he’d let me get close and learn what he was doing, thus I considered him my mentor because he was teaching me how to DJ. Of all the electronic shit I was into, I had never heard of Speed Garage till Jon introduced me to it and man do I love that stuff to this day.

Jon sold me my first real set of turntables and mixer. I couldn’t afford that shit without winning the lottery ya know? But he sold them to me dirt cheap, I don’t know if its that just wanted the stuff out of his way, he didn’t care about it, or if he really wanted me to have them after hearing what I was trying to work with. It was a pair of motor driven Gemini’s and a 3-channel NuMark club mixer with transformers. With what vinyl I had, this allowed me to finally move beyond just studying and actually hands on practicing. They were “OK” for turntablist (read: scratch technique) stuff, but perfect for beat blending. That was another monumental step in my mind, getting to do the real thing.

I also recall a trip I got to make with him as his Roadie to a show he did in Pennsylvania called SevenSpeed. While up there, I got to do a little cornball freestyling on a stage, and I got to shake hands with DJ Freaky Flow and MC Flipside. We absolutely had to go so I didn’t get to watch their set, but I helped carry Jon’s stuff and set up.

Finally, he gave me the go ahead to come by the studio from time to time to see him do his thing there to. He was the head engineer for CMC Studios at this time. I learnt some neat things about production there, but I never placed a finger on his equipment unless he told me too. I have several memories in my head of stepping out the back door of the engineers box to have a smoke and talk about all kinds of shit. Jon had also put me in touch with whom I needed to be and essentially got me a few gigs back in the days of BB McClains.

In closing, him making efforts to bring me along, to show me how to do things, and being patient knowing how on his Jock I was, I owe that man a lot. Jon seemed to me to be a naturally gracious person. From my vantage, as I said at the beginning, he gave me the means and know how to go from fantasizing about DJ’ing and music to actually doing. I wish I hadn’t lost touch with him, for the times I’ve talked about here are a long time ago. I’ve always had an unending passion for music, hell when I was elementary school it was not uncommon for me to be walking down the hallway with pockets full of cassettes. I was born with passion for music and a natural ability to understand and feel rhythm, but Jon Fox enabled me to step into it and as major a force as music is to my existence, this a much deeper subject than it may sound. His friendship, his knowledge, hell just him being him meant an awful lot to me, and this is the story of why I always labeled him as my mentor.

Jon, I’ll always remember you brother and there’s no way I ever felt I could properly thank you for the stuff you did for me. I’ll never know for certain how inconsequential all of this was or wasn’t to you, but I owe you a lot and Ive missed you for a long time besides. Any and every musical endeavour, I hope you’re seeing it. You brought what I love most to life for me, how much more can one person really impact another’s life?
R.I.P., and once more from the heart and soul, thank you.

I would totally replace my home computer with a tablet and make it my main computer if

1. It had better, in fact ‘complete’ onboard file management. This includes full filesystem control, as in the ability to send, receive, download, upload, and move files around as you can on a computer.

2. All necessary hardware support via USB. This should absolutely include keyboards, mice (for, say, graphic editing software), external disc burners, printers, thumb drives, etc. It would be great to be able to download files and burn discs with a nice and slim external cd or dvd burner. I personally could live without being able to use an external drive to actually just watch DVDs on a tablet, but barring that…

So, there you have my TWO cents. I really see little reason why these two functions, which go hand in hand in some plausible respects, aren’t or can’t be implemented. I don’t need a tablet if it’s just a larger version of my smartphone. If I’m going to spring the money for one, I’d like it to handle all of my needs instead of almost all, only to stop and hit the computer for the rest. If only they could…. And at that point, my tablet would be glued to me like a third appendage. What an awesome computer it would be…

So, how’s this work? I live on a Walmart janitor’s salary, and hell, I haven’t owned a car for almost a year now. I’ve lived a relatively lower quality of life with lower end incomes since I moved out of my parents as a teen. I have never admired rich upper class folk. Truthfully, the Taylors are a true middle or possibly “middle-upper” class family in suburbia, something I have never tried to picture myself as. I’ve also never had a desire or image of myself as running a household with a wife and three kids; this kind of stuff isn’t me or at least up to right now, has never seemed like a role I’m poised for. I am also not mechanically inclined or mechanically intelligent. I onlu know how to accomplish things with a few basic tools and am much more computer-adept instead. You want to get into technical troubleshooting, and fun stuff like BSD and Linux, I would be your guy. Yet, you ask and I’ll tell ya I’m a huge fan of the Toolman. I do admire his knowledge and passion of tools and cars (I do love me some classic cars.)

Anyway, how I’m such a fan of Home Improvement doesn’t even make sense to me, but I guess I just “get” the characters. The stories seem to just grasp my attention. The show wouldn’t work without the Toolman, but he’s my favorite character, and props to Tim Allen for making him seem genuine. I also own and have read both of the Toolman’s books “Don’t Stand Too Close To A Naked Man” and “I’m Not Really Here.” There is plenty of that “Toolman” energy in there, which is why I believe Tim Taylor is a very real and relatively accurate extension of Tim Allen himself. In any event, I love the whole cast and wish the show could’ve went longer. I get how rich these people got from making this show, but I enjoyed it enough to not care about that and in fact, I really appreciate all of the work and effort each and every one of them put in. 8 Seasons long, must not’ve done too bad eh?

By one season at a time, I started picking these up on DVD as they were first released. You can ask anyone close to me that I used to complain about media companies releasing stuff, even real old stuff, that I would label as garbage but why doesn’t somebody release Home Improvement on DVD? When they finally did, I started getting them. Now, excluding the last relationship I was in a couple years ago I’ve never had cable since I’ve lived on my own. (We only had DirecTV because she wanted it and could afford it.) I never could afford cable, so once I got out on my own, up to right now, I’ve never had it. I only own maybe 25-30 DVDs from big names (movies and whatnot, excluding my Home Improvement collection), and about 60 $1 DVDs (these are B-movies, lower budgets, “before they were big stars”, etc.) I have watched a lot of these many times obviously, and I have watched my Home Improvement collection more times over, from Season 1 Episode 1 right up to the end of Season 8. I go for a few months after finishing it, and end up starting over again. I watch an episode or two before I sleep, while I eat a meal, etc.

I felt like rambling off my feelings on all this as I just finished watching the final episode and felt it just needed to be done. I even bought a Binford Tools shirt off eBay a year and some ago that I wear to work. I’m just one of those people (and I doubt I’m the only one) that miss The Toolman and crew, and I’m sure I’ll eventually see his new-school show “Last Man Standing.” Best of luck with that one Tim. Anyway, I keep the Toolman’s spirit alive. I have some habits because of the show, like grunting “oh no” when I screw something up. There’s a few other things too. And of course, when I wear my Binford shirt, you know I have to say “If it doesn’t say Binford on it, “somebody else” probably makes it.”

I have never been a scholarly sort, a C student since I can remember, but very genuinely and purely love music and art, creativity and ingenuity. I touched a computer for the first time in kindergarten, which happened to be an Apple //e, and our school, if I remember correctly, made a huge deal out of this because we were the first in the area to get one (and much to my surprise, yes, I still have such clear memories from kindergarten.) The teacher, Mrs. Edwards, was almost scared of the thing I think, as we were not allowed to touch it for no reason until the game or program she fired up was running. This thing was a god in the classroom. I had to research this as an adult, but I remembered one game we played often that I just could not remember the name of, it turned out to be Mecc Speedway.

Anyway, I was certainly born to be a nerd because that thing had my utmost admiration. I had video game consoles in my hand since I was a baby (have pics of me as a toddler playing Atari), and so I took to computers like fish to water. Nothing was more intriguing than the Macintosh. I moved around a lot when I was young, fortunately most of the schools and including my Jr high and High School were all Apple. My own first actual Mac was called the Mac SE. I’ve been behind many since then let me tell ya. At any rate, PC’s were the common deal, but nothing was as much a pleasure to use as a Mac.

Taking a look at a company that was relatively known by the masses as a niche company, during my youngest years and before I was born, the Apple II computers were by a wide margin the first and most popular real “home computer.” They were the first to truly be desired by the public at large, and the first to get TV commercials demonstrating their values in the classroom or the office. The forward motion? Well, there’s a legendary picture of a young Steve Jobs leaning against the front wall of an IBM building throwing the finger above his head at the logo. Steve’s vision was more of a crusade than some business venture alone. Excluding his beginning attempts to make Apple into a “real” company as opposed to a smalltimer or startup, my man Jobs never wore a suit and tie. I feel that’s something about Jobs that I always shared very much in common: we are not the stuffed shirt tie wearing drones of human beings that corporate America is made of. Also, like Jobs, I share that same ironclad individuality. I will be me no matter what sense or circumstance I’m in. I experimented with styles and looks when I was a lot younger, but canned all that once I quit thinking of “the norm” and went my own way. Quite unlike Jobs however, I’m not nearly as focused, nor am I any sort of leader. Jobs had no problem pissing people off if necessity dictated, otherwise he was a natural born leader known for some ability to, at will, project unlimited charisma.

Now, I would not for one second say that Jobs wasn’t a mastermind of an innovator and business in and of itself, but he did do everything his own way, and made such a powerful impact on the world by just being himself. There will never be anyone who could hold a candle to Jobs as far as I’m concerned. Imagine the CEO of your company running around the office in a tshirt and no shoes. If the stories are true, the man would walk in to a boardroom (which he owned anyway) and would kick his feet right up on the table and handle his business, ignoring un-needed social graces. Love it

At any rate, there has been something referred to as a cult, and that is the foundational Apple community. A movement and a passion that did in fact touch the lives of people, myself included, before the “i” generation of now. There is no way of explaining it to someone who isn’t in the same boat; People who loved their Macs like they were their best friends. Who might even sleep beside it everynight and treat it like a living, breathing family member. Steve Jobs pushed a statement upon the world that wasn’t just clever marketing, but something he verifiably lived by: “Think Different.” Look at him, his history; he was doing this before and after anybody knew who he was. Give that finger to those who were drones I say! Look at the legendary “Lemmings” commercial from Apple and that was, in a nutshell, Steve Jobs’ attitude.

Steve Jobs, whether or not you can conceive it, gave people hope and played an important role in helping people find themselves, and there many others besides myself who understand. Ask any real Macaholic from the original generation if you know one.

As I said before, those that don’t know cannot know and will never come close. You can laugh and play it off as any negative circumstance you want to. Call us goofy, call us weak, call us losers or simply full of shit. It’s like religion in that you either feel it and understand it in your heart or you do not. Steve Jobs and Apple represents love, spirit, intelligence, individualism, and passion. He gave a certain life to people like me who have always felt like losers and quite inadequate. How can one man or one piece of technology define someone, really. Well, it can and does. Steve Jobs and Apple weren’t just a tech company, it is in fact an attitude and a spirit. It is a passion and a joy. No figure who was not related to me has ever had a bigger impact on me or who I am. I have just lost one of the most important heroes of my history and I am crushed. Say what you will people, you don’t need to understand.
**
Steve, you were so important to me, and I admired you so much. The things you did in this world are written in history for a reason. Those of us who find spirit and joy thru the technology you helped bring into this world “know.” We were bold enough and found great joy in “thinking different” and stuck by you even in Apple’s worst times. I am always going to remember you because who you were and the work you did for “the rest of us”, and how it touched my life in such a profound way. I can’t properly put in to words what I’m feeling and exactly why you meant so much but you did. You will never be forgotten, and I will always “bleed in six colors.” From the bottom of my heart and soul, thank you. Thank you so much. I love you Steve, please rest well.
**

I wish to close this post with my most favorite quote from Steve Jobs’ own mouth:

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” –Steve Jobs

I wish I had a company failing just like that

I picked up a 9650 dirt cheap, because I couldn’t deal with Surepress anymore. This thing was running OS 5 and I kept getting the “unable to send request for available updates” error. I can, by the by, relate that Verizon tech support are both morons and liars. I got on the phone with them, explained I had just activated the device and couldn’t update. He identified the version I was running because I was at the store talking to him on this very device. Not sure how that works but no matter. Anyway, I had done the factory reset prior to calling and a couple battery pulls after the fact. So, the guy moves me up a tier to whom they call “BlackBerry Experts.” This guy then clicked around on his computer for a couple minutes and told me the problem was RIM and that I simply needed to update via the desktop software. This wouldn’t have mattered but I’ll get to that in a second. Anyway, I don’t have home internet service, nor do I have any friends I can just go to and use their internet or computer. I then downloaded Tether and tried to get my machine online that way, and being that Tether can’t work on a Mac that has DM installed via USB, I spent a while playing with bluetooth, and yes I was desperate by this point. That whole pain in the ass failed, so I had all but given up.

A little while later, I thought maybe if I make sure all security is disabled I might get somewhere. I hadn’t enabled even a password as yet and couldn’t find one piece of evidence this phone had any BES crapola going on. Everything was clear until I got to the firewall menu. The firewall was enabled, and wasn’t allowed to be disabled, and not one checkbox in the list of things to block was ticked, but there was a little lock icon next to the enable/disable box and as I said, I was not allowed to change it. I’ve never seen that across my last couple Berries so I started researching it. Turns out it is an IT policy pushed out on a BES, and apparently, going thru and doing a security wipe (where that nifty prompt makes you type the word BlackBerry) does NOT wipe special IT policies from the device registry. Because I’m on a Mac I used method 4 described in this BB KB article:

http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB14202

The second I typed the command into the terminal, it instantly rebooted my device, and all settings were erased or defaulted and voila! I tried the update again and it worked like a charm.

So the whole point of this overly-long post is that doing a phone wipe thru the handheld’s software apparently doesn’t (or should it be “doesn’t always”) wipe special BES policies from the device registry afterall, so if you have weird problems like mine, that KB article has the fix.
PS: I had also, in all the digging it took for me to solve this problem, read that custom/hybrid roms can cause my particular error to show up sometimes as well, though it wasn’t my case.

All the best folks.

Nuff said. I’m rather unsure of how to take this, perhaps only as what it is. Is it that prepaid customers, in general, are only to get average or less service at best? Seriously, no matter what service, if you can’t afford or don’t want contract service, you are stuck with garbage if the thought of having anything above a dummy phone crosses your mind.

So, enter Sprint. I had a Virgin Mobile “Snapper” phone many years ago. I thought Sprint’s service with regards to connectivity was garbage, so I’ve never wanted anything to do with them again since. Flash forward to more recent times, they do make great efforts to poise themselves as being serious consumer advocates. While my entire opinion of Sprint is kinda low, my respect points for them bumped up a notch or two when they became the first to offer decent grade phones on prepaid. Some of the others might have one piece of shit running Symbian, or maybe even a two or three year old BlackBerry, but Sprint has their Virgin Mobile service offering prepaid Androids that are usable. I cannot remember the name of the device, but I did read an article once about some 1.2ghz Android device they were going to be offering. At any rate, and barring my poor views of Android, the point is they have some respectable pieces of hardware up for the prepaid market.

Then, as the Engadget article above shows, they’re doing that dirty little thing that mobile carriers love to do: throttle! They put out propoganda about how they, unlike their competitors, don’t throttle their data speeds. The small batch of respect points I had for them might’ve fallen a bit again, simply because they were on the road to doing something groundbreaking and actually including the prepaid market in the world of decent smartphone hardware. I suppose the universal constant still applies: if you’re on prepaid, you don’t get the option to have kickass hardware with kickass service. There’s that, and of course them being shown as outright liars because they’ll bust on the competiton for throttling and then they’re turning around and starting it themselves! “The truly unlimited company”, if your a contract customer only.

My first few cellphones when I was a much younger man were prepaid because as far as I could tell, contracts were a joke if not a working class ripoff. Once I discovered the capabilities of smartphones, I realized then that you have to have a contract service to have an awesome phone. That, and of course there are no cellular services that are “consumer advocates.” Thanks Sprint for helping continue the legacy of making prepaid a substandard service and helping preserve the time honored tradition of screwing people and securing your part of their income via contracts so that they might have a worthwhile device.

BlackBerry is dying, oh that’s right….I should go Android or iPhone like everyone else in the world. Nah. I rather love my ‘berry and I’m kinda doing the same thing as the company who makes these devices in the first place: not rolling over and giving up. Since RIM is releasing 3 new devices, a new OS, and who knows what else is rollin’ out, its safe to say that if they are sinking so much time, money and work into new ‘everything’,,,why?! I can tell you why. They’re not dead, not dying, and sure as hell will not stop and just give up.

Any BlackBerry haters, or anyone who disregards BB as old and dead stop the bias for a second and actually look at what RIM has going on with their products? I just can’t gather why Rovio doesn’t see a nice piece of market share from the countless number of Blackberry lovers who know “Angry Farm” is a genuine piece of sh*t. I can guarantee that a release of Angry Birds on the actual BlackBerry phones would rack up enough sales within the first week to double or triple the resources (money) put into it.

So, first off, read the story here:

http://www.huliq.com/3257/sweet-justice-main-street-homeowner-forecloses-bank-america

Basically, the bank tried to foreclose on someone’s home. The first neat mistake was they picked the wrong place; Bank of America had no mortgage or vested anythings in this property. The foreclosure process these mega companies love by the way, goes as far as sending sheriff deputies and movers to take you right out of your home. Thanks for helping f*ck the working class instead of going a little distance to actually help and work with someone who needs it.

Anyway, this family got one kickass attoeney and proved in court they had nothing due to this bank. Well, Bank of America lost the battle and was ordered to pay all the legal fees. They decided they didn’t have to. Somehow, the Nyerger family and this attorney swung a legal, and incredibly amazing order and actually forclosed on the bank! They had deputies and movers come right in and started removing desks and chairs, equipment, and even cash right from the teller’s drawers until the big boss decided to cut the family’s attorney a check for the legal fees they were ordered to pay once already.

Overall, beautiful. This story put a huge smile on my face. Heartless money hoarding capitalist cocksuckers finally got their due. As big as this particular bank is, how many families do you suppose they’ve put out on the street? How much offense have they ran on people they want and demand money from compared to making big moves to actually help people survive and still, though over a longer period of time, get their money anyway. I would love to have been there when the bank was in the middle of a business day and these guys come in and start yanking all their shit right out of the building! Hope someone got to really enjoy a small taste of what they do to people everyday.

To the Nyerger family and their brilliant attorney: Respects! I admire and appreciate the ways you fought, defended, and won!
