Any listeners here?
I think I tuned into it a couple times. I'm honestly surprised Leo Laporte didn't boot Dvorak off the TWIT Network far earlier. the guy's completely lost it.

I also miss zdnet and TechTV. It' sbeen ages since I listened to twit.
Speaking of Dvorak, there's an episode of Computer Chronicles where has
an appearance with the "new" IBM PS/2. He was there to demonstrate
it's "tool free" disassembly for upgrade and service (no need for tool kits in the future. )
He had a hell of a time pulling it apart. The clips and brackets
worked real well. ZDS tried that and we had to use a fiberglass blade tool to act as a lever and shim.
to screws because clips would break, and items held together by
friction or connector tension woul d work their way loose. Replacement parts would come with screws or zip ties.

I was just thinking back to the first dot-com boom/bust in 1999-2001. I was working at a startup in San Francisco, and MSNBC started with a base in SF as a tech TV channel. Interesting times.

That's surprising - I worked in an IBM shop in the early '90s, and all the old PS/2s (model 25, 50, 60 and 80) all came apart with a quarter, as long as you weren't removing the motherboard.
Other than that line, they went back

... Abandon desire
i tried listening to a couple of episodes of twit and its just unlistenable. its pseudo tech talk interlaced with sanctioned social and cultural commentary and constant transition to contextualized advertisement.
