Dr. Dave again looks for a way to stretch one person's limited time across as many computers and listeners as possible. During a security call he explains both why he refuses to condemn a product without evidence and why protection that overwhelms ordinary users has failed its purpose. Evil Steve asks the audience for real motorcycle-headset experience because he trusts listeners more than review sites, and a design aside remembers the early temptation to use every new font and color simply because computers made it possible. An AM-radio call reveals two of Dr. Dave's collecting interests, fountain pens and old radios, including a shattered 1927 RCA set he rebuilt to see whether it could be done.
