Darlene's first computer · Proposed air date:

Darlene says she has never sat at a computer but listens every week and hopes a mail-order laptop will let her contact her brother from a remote home. Dr. Dave separates the inflated offer from the machine's real value, learns that connectivity is the harder problem and apologizes that he cannot give her an easier solution.
