This an apparent faux-pas as fellow HMAUS member Rick “Wolfman” Gass sat beside him in the studio proudly wearing a t-shirt boldly emblazoned with the words “Mac geek” across the front.

Burt Lum and Ryan invited Young and Gass to the Bytemarks Cafe radio program to talk about the upcoming Mac Springfest. Other guests include two gentlemen from Coral Cross who talked about pandemic preparedness using alternate reality gaming technology.
