Rick and Mark: thank you for every show, really enjoy it !
Please be back!
P.S.: Still waiting for the Channel9 guy...:(.
Thank you for putting on such good shows! Channel 9 may have had too many news shows, but yours was one of the best, both in presenters and content.
Looking forward to your new show.
Dear Rick and Mark,
Thanks for de show!
254 feels all wrong! 2 more shows and you could have gone out on a power of 2. :)
It's been a good run; thanks for all the shows :)
(In my best Luke Skywalker voice) Nooooooooooooooooo - or he could say it himself
Thanks to everyone on your team for the great show. The end almost felt like the end of the Transformers movie. I'll check TWC9 for you guys.
You couldn't just end on 256? I liked this episode btw; I've been fascinated with space since Star Trek Next Generation, V and Star Wars when I was a kid. Ninja cat, Nice! That Glowforge seems great. Batcave - want!
The end of an era :(
Thanks Mark, Rick and Crew. All the best in the future. See you at TWC9.
Cheers!
See ya Laura, Paul, Rick and Mark.
Now can someone explain why Laura Foy is no longer with Microsoft? Seems to be a taboo subject.
@JustinMSalvato:Laura's on a marketing team at Microsoft. She's just not on Channel 9 :)

Thanks Ping People!
@jvs_ca: We sent out a few dozen 9 guys this week. Let me know if you don't get yours.
:(
Believe it or not I only learned that the Ping Show had ended. I'm sorry to see that it's ended, but understand why.
I'd like to get one of those CHannel 9 Guys so I'll send you snail mail.
Just got around to watching this now, been in my queue for ages.
Gutted its come to an end, but it makes sense. Made my day when I got a mention :)
