Hello. I have a few recommendations and questions for you three...

>>> I think that you do a great job in the 1st place. <<<

I want to know, do you broadcast live on cnet.com, and if so when?

My buddies and I would love to tune in and listen!

It's either that, or read George Will's column in the Washington Post. (LOL! What a Nut!)

So I would really love to know that.

The other thing is that I think that you should get an AIM account or a digitalcity.cnet.com chatbox.

This way viewers can talk to each other in a c-box, or viewers can have suggestions via. I.M. or ask the opinion of one of you three. Or, they can make recommendations or ask questions like I am without the wait for the reply. Please consider my opinion. I am a long time listener of your podcast and enjoy it among all of my other podcasts. Please keep the new episodes coming!!!

Sincerely,

Nathan T.
