For 15+ years, all I needed was a working computer (loaded with a compiler, a code editor, debugger, SVN/git), a notebook + mechanical pencil, and my trusted Sailor fountain pen!

This is me every time I compose an email on Mailchimp. I am always petrified that I'll send to the entire mailing list rather than send out a test email.

I wish these mass-emailer companies ask you to solve a captcha, puzzle, or a simple math question before you send out a mass mailer.

The heart attacks ... ugh

That's great news. I have been running Bullseye on my Thinkpad x260 for a while now and it's been bug-free and a pleasure. Looking forward to switching to the next testing and onto the next two years!
