Did any of you watch "The Screensavers" show on TechTV in the early 2000's? TechTV was bought out about 2005 and that ended the show. I used to come home every night and watch the show. They would have the best PC information anywhere. I was just curious how many of you watched it.

IMO, it was the best show on TechTV. Honestly, I don't see why Comcast couldn't just create a new channel for G4.
