Our email this week is from Doug Ferguson who tells about an amazing he got on a high-end movie camera that was a big deal from long, long ago.
Hey guys,
I was reminded of this on my shelf in my media room when you were talking about the Kodak 8mm movie camera a few weeks ago.
Doug Ferguson
I did a web search for the Bolex H8 and found used they can sell for a lot of money. Doug said he paid a $1 for his. It looks like it might be worth a lot more if he wishes to sell it:

How To Submit Your Video For The Gadget Warehouse & Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.
We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here’s what we’re looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won’t get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, “family friendly” language applies.
–
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can’t market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it’s a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
–
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don’t have a warehouse. It doesn’t matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you’re still hanging on to it.
–
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
–
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We’ll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that’s unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you’ll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it’s a copy. We’ve tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you’ll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.
All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv
Email of the week:
Talking about The Giz Wiz Show coming up to it’s 17th Anniversary, Bill Holmes writes us:
Hi I have listened to just about all of them I think.
You were talking about other shows that might be as long running. TWIT started in April of 2005.
Security now followed in August 2005
The tech guy did start in 2004 but was not put in to podcast form until a year later when a teenager called the show to tell Leo to try putting it online.
So your show would have been the fourth one on TWIT.
Then Windows weekly started in September of 2006
The longest running podcast I listened to is Geek News Central which started in October of 2004. And they have had the same sponsor since July of 2005. He does the podcast awards as well.
So Adam Curry and Dave Wiener are credited with starting it all in 2004. Leo jumped in a year later in 2005 very early but not the first or longest running tech podcaster.
