It seems they intended to make a pause after "but". For that purpose "..." instead of the comma, would actually fit better.

Probably the most excited I've ever personally made PG was when he saw me make an em dash on my MBP and immediately wanted to know how.

Well, parent comment mentioned Mac, so the correct answer is Option, Shift, and - (hyphen). There are many other characters that Macs can type with the Option key.
