iPod Toilet Rolls
Steve Jobs at the Showtime Event said that some manufacturer had done a toilet roll with an iPod dock. See Episode 186.
DGW Commercials
Folks from the UK are aghast at the idea of Leo doing the commercials himself in the middle of the shows.
Gadget Tragic
Richard Reid from Brisbane, Australia describes himself as a "gadget tragic". The only thing that stands between him and some LED-festooned piece of garbage is his marriage. He used to be an early adopter. His adoptions included the Apple Newton, the Zip Drive, the Jaz Drive, the Psion PDA, the Cassiopeia PDA, the Polaroid FX70.
Farewell, Amber
Amber has taped her last Call For Help episodes and is moving on to the City TV Network in Canada.

At 23:57, this DGW has broken the previous record of Episode 149, and has made Dick completely bereft.
Mad Minute
A repeat of the commercial from Alfco's new tax accountants.
