If you liked TechTV, you would've loved ZDTV. It was nothing but wall-to-wall computer-related shows, and of course TSS and CFH were their crown jewels.

Heh, yeah, this was something of a staple of TSS, started by Leo Laporte back in the ZDTV days.

The Screensavers was such an awesome show! They had cool informative segments like this all the time.
I really miss TechTV. Once G4 took over, everything that was good on that channel was destroyed forever.

I had a dream I died and the one thing I wanted to take with me was my synthesizers (sad I know). I'm still praying there are synths in heaven (or at least a synth harp) hopefully with Dr. Moog there his work will continue on...
