"underneath MS-DOS was running it, Windows simply sat on top" - so this is what happens, when a tech guy was in management for too long. this statement was not at all true since at least Windows-95 where MS-DOS was not much more than a bootloader - actually VMM was in charge. (and the statement was partially not true since Windows(2)/386 from 1987, when the VMM was introduced)
I watched this live when it happened. I believe techtv was doing a marathon for the holidays and at this point Chris had been hosting for like 24 hours when he lost it.
I used to watch the same episodes of The Screen Savers twice. Once at night, and then again the following morning. The Screen Savers and Call for Help were always the highlight of my day. Leo Laporte essentially taught me everything I know about computers and thanks to him I'm in the career I am today.
Yep. Serious 2002 vibes. I. ... XP, the invention of the decade. I get that they 'sold a video' for this, but why couldn't it just be a TechTV special. Very odd.
dude these guys phuckin sucked! I watched them when i was like barely 8 years old fascinated by tech, but these made it boring as $hit, depressing and LAAME! Thank god for extended play cuz these guys never solved any ACTUAL pc problems, and when people called in, they always said oh the best way to go is LOWTECH solutions, like bruh ur show is called the screen saver, show some hardware, talk about processor speeds, nope nothin, and i realized all this while in the 3rd grade, yep ur welcome, i hope someone gets mad and tries to start shit cuz im ready for u biches!
I miss these shows. I started off watching CNet Central (which was a pre-cursor to this) and then this once CNet went by the wayside. Computers were so exciting and interesting back then
Actually that whole network went down hill. Once the G4 Network took over it. Then they started having those lan parties. After that I stopped watching that!
Always loved this show. I was in that chat room too. Thought one of guys was rude to me. When I asked them. How is it going? Or something like that. They responded. Trying to do a show! Thought how rude! Back then we had dial-up. Anyway, I felt like learned a lot from that show.
