I would have to agree.  Also, everybody seems to be saying good riddance.
However, we don't have many public developers left, it seems.  To lose
another one, reguardless of how people feel about his personality, is a
great loss.  Personally, I looked forward to seeing new GUPPs posted.  It
was nice to know somebody was working on squashing bugs for a system that
was 'out of date' 5 years ago.  Linux has become my favorite operating
system, but the Apple IIs, and especially the IIgs will always be my
favorite computer.

Farewell, Nate.  I at least will miss you.
