    		 Does anyone remember TechTV? If you do (and watched it enough), I'm trying to remember the name of a show that I used to watch. I can't remember the title or the hosts of the show, which obviously makes researching it rather difficult. Anyway, the show was hosted by two guys. One was older, probably in his 50s or 60s with grey hair, and I think he was overweight. The other guy was younger (and skinner), probably in his 20s or 30s, and I believe he had brown hair. On the show, the two guys would show viewers current/new computer software and hardware. The format was professional and informative, but there was a little banter between the hosts. Anyone know what show I'm talking about?

      		 The Screen Savers?

        		 Nope, not the Screen Savers. I did some more research, and I don't think it was on TechTV. I'm pretty sure that the show was on in the mid to late 90s. And ZDNet became TechTV in 2000, so it must have been on another network. But I have no idea what network that could have been.

          		 The screen savers had different hosts, perhaps what you remember was an earlier season?

          The disk doctors is somewhat similar, except that both hosts were young (20s~ish) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTOcNZ4kZ8I

            		 Thanks for the links. Unfortunately neither of those shows looked familiar. The premise of this show was reviewing products, not answering viewer questions. So it couldn't have been either. As I said earlier, I think I may have the wrong network.

              		 Good news! I found a few minutes of the show on an old tape. It was called "PC Superstore," and was on the Jones Computer Network. Apparently it launched on September 6, 1994 and was offered as a 12 hour channel. That must be why I don't remember it having its own channel. I guess it was eventually sold to the company that would create TechTV.
