Weekly Computer Help Show - 11-08-07 Podcast
Our audio isn't the greatest tonight. Our new mic didn't record well. We apologize ahead of time and will have a better quality podcast next week.
Weekly Computer Help Show - 11-15-07
We dumped the humming microphone...tonight's podcast is back up to listenable quality!
Tonight was another great show and for some reason a majority of our questions were about Ubuntu Linux. Which was great! We enjoy talking and answering questions about Ubuntu. We also had a huge contingency of my statesman (New Mexico) asking questions. Welcome, and please let us know what happened that allowed all of you to find us?
Listen and enjoy!!
mygot Stickam chatter - Our biggest fan
This is sort of an inside joke for those folks who joined us live tonight. This nut job had some very mature comments to add to our otherwise family oriented show. We captured the best of his quotes..."I'm kinda slow tonight".
Weekly Computer Help Show - 11-29-07
We had a great show tonight thanks to all the visitors and emailers. Interestingly, we seem to be amassing a large, vocal fan base in New Mexico who are very interested in Ubuntu. In addition to their questions, we answered email, Internet, xBox, monitor, Mac and other questions tonight as well. Listen, learn, and enjoy.
Weekly Computer Help Show - 12-06-07
Tonight's show was a little slower than some of the recent ones, but we had a great group of regulars and answered questions about laptop recommendations, Macintosh computes, spyware, Dell computers, tax preparation programs, the Fair Tax, Huckabee, Gravel, Ron Paul and much more.
Weekly Computer Help Show - 12-13-07
Sorry about the first podcast...for some reason it imported crazy and we sounded like Alvin and The Chipmunks. This version should sound much better.
The Christmas season is upon us and the show crowds have been lighter lately, but we still had fun with the show. We will do one more live show next week, and then take two weeks off for the holidays and probably have multiple broadcasts from Las Vegas at the CES show in Vegas the first week in January.
Tonight we talked about Thunderbird email, answered some Ubuntu questions and showed off the new Eee PC from Asus. Have a listen and join us for next week's show!
Weekly Computer Help Show Podcast - 12-20-07
We had a great turnout this week for our last show of the year. Thanks for all who attended. Lots of email questions about email, MSN, and address books. We featured out two tips of the week and Adam and I did our annual gift exchange on the camera this year! It was a lot of fun, have a great Christmas and New Years, and watch for out next live show on January 10.
Weekly Computer Help Show - 01-10-08
Tonight we had a special Post CES show and talked mostly about CES coverage. A nice young man joined us and some good questions for us. Plus Adam's brother, Andy, also joined us and shared some of his consumer electronic expertise.
Weekly Computer Help Show - 01-17-08 Podcast
I felt like we had our first good show in awhile tonight. Lot's of good questions from the audience and the emailers. Thanks to all who emailed and "attended" the show tonight. Definitely a show worth listening to this week.
Weekly Computer Help Show - 01-24-08 Podcast
Despite being bugged in the chat room by some immature hackers from time-to-time tonight, the show had a good flow with great participation and conversation in the chat room, lots of phone calls, and all the email we could answer tonight. And a great new video tip of the week that WILL save your digital life!
If your name is Sherrie, Larry, Gwen, Judy, Thomas, Greg, Carolyn, Kay, Jim, Christy and a few others, your email was answered during the show.

Tonight's "crowd" was awesome. Many people signed in early, and the questions from our studio audience were great. We also called a woman in California who was in tears over an Adobe issue. In addition to all this fun, we answered emails from Alberta, Chalmers, Dick, Barbara, Charles, Candace, Harold, Jane, Lon, Dave, and others.
Weekly Computer Help Show - 02-21-08 Podcast
We took last week off for Valentine's Day, but came back this week and had a mediocre show. The first half started strong, then for reasons unknown to prolific talkers like us, the show slowed down in the second half. Regardless we had a great time answering emails from Dave, Jeff, Sue, Mark, Ross, Richard, Charline, Carolyn, Chris and many more! Click the Play or download button and listen!
Weekly Computer Help Show - 02-28-08 Podcast

Weekly Computer Help Show - 03-06-08 Podcast
Tonight's group of live chatters was awesome. Lot's of new people and great conversation in the chat room tonight.

Weekly Computer Help Show - 03-20-08 Podcast
After a week off, we came back tonight with a strong show and a huge crowd in the chat room. We dedicated this week's show to NOA-Mike...a regular visitor in the show chat room. Mike works for Nintendo of America (NOA) and was able to get Adam and I a Nintendo Wii game console. An amazing gesture that we won't soon forget.
In addition to kissing up to Mike, we answered lots of questions from emailers and our live studio audience. If you weren't there for the live show, click and download or listen to the show right here on the site!
Weekly Computer Help Show - 03-27-08 Podcast

Weekly Computer Help Show - 04-17-08 Podcast
Unfortunately, this week we had some technical difficulty with our video chat site, and we had some very immature spammers. Sooo...we cut off the live feed and just did a pure email podcast. If you have emailed the show address in the past two weeks, the answer to your question is in this week's podcast. We probably answered nearly 30 emails. Give it a listen for some great tech information!
Weekly Computer Help Show - 04-24-08 Podcast
Our show went much better tonight because of our new chat room policy. To cleanup the riff-raff in our live video chat during the show, we have instituted a Stickam Members Only policy for the chat room. During the show, anyone can watch and listen and still email us, but if you want to join in and chat directly to us or the other folks in the room, you must be a Stickam member. Becoming a Stickam member is FREE and only requires that you visit the Stickam site, click the giant, blue Join Now button,and answer a few questions (always write down your user name and password). It's quick and painless.
Weekly Computer Help Show-05-01-08 podcast
This week's show was pretty bad. We are ashamed to even post it. However we did answer a lot of email questions, did a Tip of the Week and discussed some news.
We apologize in advance for the poor program but promise to bring a show to you next week that defines the word excellentitality.
Weekly Computer Help Show - 05-15-08 Podcast
We invested some of our ad money this week (almost all of it) in new audio equipment to record and broadcast the show. Live show visitors unanimously agreed that the sound was vastly approved over our past shows. We hope our podcast listeners feel the same way. Overall the show was our smoothest in a long time, and we answered many email and chat room visitor's questions.
Give the show a listen at a time that works for you!
Weekly Computer Help Show - 05-22-08
This was week #2 with our new sound equipment. We don't think we had the adjustments as good as last week, but overall the sound seems to be better than our previous shows. Give it a listen. We answered many, many emails this week.
Weekly Computer Help Show - 06-05-08 Podcast
After a week off, we had a bunch of email to catch up on...and catch up we did. Great questions from all over the country and continent. I'm willing to bet some of the questions and answers will benefit YOU too! Give us a listen. We won't be live next week, but will be back with another live show on the 19th.
