As a long time ZDTV and TechTV fan, I am happy to see him return." Agreed. Good to see him back on a cable show. The first few episode topics include: "Waterproof Your Gadgets, Find a Wi-Fi Hotspot, Tweak Your TV Tones, Network Enabled DVD Players"

    Not a troll - but I still can't undertstand why all the interest about this show. It always seemed oriented towards geek-wannabes, not IT/technical folks. I've watched a few segments and learned absolutely nothing, everything was like, so obvious...

    That show really drove me nuts. Stupid people calling in asking stupid questions. The few segments of it that I have watched reminded me of being a tech support for an ISP years ago. I really don't want to watch that at home on my couch... so WHO did watch that show?

    Another fat, bloated Windows guy makes it onto "Armchair tech TV". That's sure to bring loads of innovation into the technology arena. What is it with Winblows users who think they know about computers? They might know how to use Windows in a superficial way, but that's akin to knowing how to put gas in a car and drive it. Not too useful. On the other hand, Unix guys are the equivalent of being able to tune their cars to run efficiently on one specific road that gets travelled most frequently while still doing better than Windows cars on other roads. Leo LaPorte is a clueless, fat Windows hack. The only person stupider than him is John Dvorak.
