Screw Steve Jobs quitting - Cmdrtaco is stepping down as the head of slashdot! ./ started in 1997 and went through lord knows how many name changes. When I first signed in - what 2000? 2001? I was able to snag a "middle of the pack" id number - 750470 isn't bad! Though I will confess when they were auctioning off uber low ranking numbers I felt the twitch to bid. Hmmm.. upgrade from a six digit to a four or three... or god forbid two! Eeek! But no.. that would have been silly... and cheating.

Either way I have been a loyal slashdot reader over the years. A fist full of stories submitted with a scan few accepted. Heh.. good karma and a a few up voted posts. A good roll as a fringe user. I was always spooked by the folks uber into it. I mean the 'anti-slashdot' page built to "expose the corruption" from the mods is amazing. I guess everyone needs a hobby. Hell I even organizing Omaha's Slashdot-10 year-party. What a damn fine institution cmdrtaco built from those wee college days.
