Thankfully, other than the name and branding, not much is technically changing with this update. But still, this is weird. I have a tremendous amount of brand loyalty [...]

I thought it would be interesting to list the one’s who disappeared and were able to get away with the loot. I’m also including [...]
One of my hobbies since I was a wee lad has been collecting baseball cards.
