Short info
On this trip to Dick's Gadget Warehouse... It's wet, it's weird, it's nowhere to be found anymore! Sunsquirt
This is another weird gadget I don’t see anywhere on the web. I’m not sure it ever made it to the market place. It’s designed for use at the beach. You fill it with about a half gallon of water, and carry it via a shoulder strap. Once you’re out in the hot sun, you place this gadget next to your blanket, and set the timer for 3, 5 or 10 minutes. At that interval, a little battery operated motor causes a spray of water to be shoot out for 30 seconds or so, to cool you off! You even got to adjust the spray nozzle!

Dick remarks that it is no coincidence that the Daily Giz Wiz and Dick's Gadget Warehouse have the same initials DGW.
A trial version of the gravy jingle
Dick refers to a gravy jingle submission from Dan Lueders from Chicago which Leo "put in yesterday". The jingle had not in fact been played in Episode 114. There have been other submissions as well.
Model 100
The Radio Shack Model 100 (Episode 110) attracted a lot of fan mail. Those interested in it can go to Club100.
Turn-The-Tables-Tuesday
Leo has ordered the cassette tape digitisation gadget, and asks if he can do a gadget once in a while, say, in a table-turning week. Dick suggests a Turn-The-Tables-Tuesday when he can start scoffing at Leo's gadgets.
