If you’ve always wanted to ask a question on the Screen Savers, but have had trouble getting through the busy signals, here’s your chance.

We’re taping shows all week to air the week of September 16 and since we’re not live we’re having trouble getting calls. In fact, if you call us this week, Morgan says you’re pretty much guaranteed to get on.

Call 1-888-989-7879 toll free…
Wed 9/4, 7-8:30p Eastern (call as early as 6p)
Thurs 9/5, 7-8:30p and 9:30-11p Eastern
Fri 9/6, 7-8:30p Eastern

We especially want people with netcams.

Morgan and Kevin are standing by. Call now. Please!

    Sweet! Maybe I’ll make up a problem just to get on. =)

    Hmmm . . . I’ll try to think of something wrong with my laptop. Of course, since you posted this in your blog, there will probably be 50,000 calls, now.

    I have a Lexmark Z43 printer with drivers (on disk and updated online) that won’t work with XP. I checked online, and many, many people are having the same problem. The same printer works in 98, but not in XP. The error message says either the printer is out of paper (it isn’t), or that bidirectional communication can’t be established.

    What I would like is to install a “generic” or compatible driver. Do you know of one?

    I finally got through to Morgan, but didn’t get on the show with my question. But it was cool to talk to her, especially because I’ve been trying to get through to TSS for the past 3 weeks, on both Netcam and Phone.

    I felt really weird when she picked up, because I was always used to the ringing and ringing and ringing. But, all of a sudden, I was talking to Morgan!

    Can’t wait to see some new TSS in a couple of weeks, and I’m trying to patiently wait for the new set! Can’t we just build a time machine and get to the new set NOW?!?!?!?!? Somebody out there must know how to do it! :)

    Be like a salmon or a bass… swim against the current… but all the time… not just during mating season.

    I called the show, but Morgan just yelled “Bite Me!” into the phone. Then, reportedly, she handed the phone to Kevin who stuck his tongue out at it, and then slammmed it down to very rudely hang up on me.

    Just what kind of people are you associating with, Captain?

    Wow, just the week that I actually had real questions, was really in need, and I missed this BLOG post …….

    We could always watch Leo or Patrick’s vacation movies instead of taking live calls until Screen Savers is once again live.

    Hey, leo.

    The cheapest way for M$ to fix that XP bug in everyone’s computer is for them to set up a webpage (or send an email to all registered users) that contains that evil URL code. They could have the evil URL delete the uplddrvinfo.htm file and all will be fine.

    :-D

    I need to get a cable box for the tv set in my office, (it gets only 102 channels, and tech is on channel 129. ($6.50/ month). Right now, I have to go in the main house to see it. BTW, it is digital there, (digital cable box there, 500 channels). Much, much, much better than Dish TV, men. :-)

    I was concerned that the show was going to run as repeats all month until the new set is built. Thank goodness for “the show must go on”, as I enjoy the techtv show.

    I agree, it is great to have fresh episodes again, but personally I’d rather see TSS be broadcasted from a storage closet. All of the shows that are filmed at TechTV’s studio are on the same set…

    Hey Leo, when are you going to come to Arizona? Would be an honor and privilage to meet you. And have you sign my copy of your book!

    I REALLY enjoy your show.

    Questions: How do you put a blog on a web page? Can you easily delete a post? I use Frontpage and have my page up on net. (www.pckevin.com)

    -Kevin, the God Monster!

    PS: Please don’t tell Chris about the name of my web page, thanks!
