Ironic after my flame... TV alert...

Hey,

Speaking of the media... today I was interviewed by BusinessWeek TV (the
broadcast arm of BusinessWeek magazine) at their studio in the American Stock
Exchange.  They're doing a story on computer collecting, inspired by the
Christie's auction happening later this month.  Anyway, the show's schedule is
listed here: http://www.businessweek.com/bwtv/stations.htm

Here in the metro New York City region, it is on Sunday at 10:30AM, on ABC.

The interview is about five minutes long.  They asked me to explain our hobby
to sellers; that is, BW readers who might have an old computer laying around. 
I tried to convey three points: 1., the difference between "vintage" and just
"used"; 2., online resources for people to learn what computers are worth; and
3., some examples.

I'm happy to get on TV, but absolutely giddy that they're recognizing our
hobby.

By now a few of you probably think I'm an a-hole.  Sorry!  (That's the last
thing I will say about that...)

 Evan
