Dr. Dave experiments with running the radio show mostly without paper, reflects on the Internet’s mix of misinformation and powerful independent voices, and remembers George Allen and the Washington football teams of his youth. A caller who also repairs computers joins him for a candid discussion about the difficult choice between prolonged troubleshooting and starting a damaged system over. The show also explores a nose-controlled accessibility device, a visual map of the Internet, online gaming habits and a series of callers seeking help with updates, backups, video conversion, security and older hardware.
