  • Entertaining but

    Please for the love of God Dan make the conversation interesting Tom is carrying the conversation the hell lot. Either get another speaker who is really passionate about tech or at least just dont be “yes sir” everytime Tom provides info. It makes you look dumb. Aside from that its entertaining for what is it.
