Here’s this week’s email and viewer video:
Hi Dick and Chad!
I finally got around to recording a video.
I am surprised how many gadgets that I used to use have been replaced by the smartphone.
If you like this example, I can make more.
Love da show!

From the Giz Wiz: I had the Casio TV remote control watch, but I don’t think it could do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1vipYthGGo

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:
OMGChad and Dickie Dee, 
While watching TWIT and seeing OMGChad on the Friday show I decided to find a picture of my first PC. We used to have a commodore 64 pc but it was one that I used mainly for games and such, but the first computer I used and really got to learn the applications and such was a Packard Bell computer with a 486/33mhz processor. A friend of ours gave us the computer and I remember he and his friend brought me to a computer show and we got an upgrade for the computer. The upgrade doubled the speed from 33mhz to 66mhz. I also remember getting to “watch” videos especially from enhanced cds that they sold at the time. One had a music video that would play and you could literally see each of the frames changing as it played.
I am including a picture that I looked up of the computer. It is the same computer but not my actual computer.
