RECAP: FIRST SUNDAY SHOW — MAY 1!
We attended the 5th Annual Solar Expo, and will be sharing new information in the coming weeks. Our producer introduced the new "Tech Talk" theme song, and Jay talked about computers. He used a recent experience as his key point, when a friend of ours got erroneous information from a "computer expert" (not Jay!) about replacing the entire computer because she was having problems. Jay is in the process of writing a blog about his report, and podcasts of the show will be available soon.
