        @monkbent Don't doubt yourself... the original Intel piece was so compelling that I remembered the main points without needing a re-read

        @monkbent I know your readership is probably growing quickly, but it’s possible many already read previous article (I did).

        @monkbent I actually subscribed via email now. Despite your posts being rather heavily Apple-leaning, I enjoy them.

        @monkbent Yes-- but how many people that click the link to first post actually read it?

        @mgarland good question. I’d guess I have about 4x as many Twitter followers since then...
