Help me my computer is broken., 5 July 2002
Author: space86 from Earth

Tech TV's Call for help is a great show for us looking for help. I also enjoy watching the Dell Computer commericals with that guy who says Dude your getting a Dell. But back to Call for Help this is a very good show to watch and call into when you need help with your computer. Watch Call for Help and the 90 minute show the ScreeSavers on TechTV directTV channel 354.
