Linux, Unix & The Computer Chronicles

Mike Hicks wrote in to say "At the beginning of February, I corresponded with one person associated with Computer Chronicles, a TV show on PBS that has been a good showcase for new technologies for probably around fifteen years.

They almost ran a show titled "UNIX & Linux," but decided not to for some reason or another. This year's schedule appears to be set, and I doubt it would be very easy to change that now. What can be done, however, is to correspond with them about what we'd like for next year."

We also have an email address and if you follow the link below, you can see the comments from compcron.

Hi Michael, thanks for writing. Stewart decided not to do the show on
UNIX and Linux, unfortunately. I too wish he had...my husband just
installed it on his laptop :-). I will forward this on to him however,
in the hopes that he decides to do it next season. The schedule is set
for the rest of this season (til September).

We do appreciate you writing. It's letters like this that help us
figure out what to cover in the upcoming shows.

If everyone asks politely, perhaps next season we can get a show focused on Linux and Unix.
