Hmm. There is a show entitled: "The Tech Guy. http://techguylabs.com And every sunday for about 3 hours, they talk about technology, games, cellphones, computers, macintoshes, etc. I wonder if anyone of us sends the show an email during the week, or by calling 1-88-88-askleo, Who know honestly. And even the "G4/Tech TV" web site and TV network I'm sure would be another good place to get some feed back in the communities out there. Also, anyone considered making an "Audyssey Podcast" one day? .
