Dr. Dave laughs about panicking when the show’s call-in number appears broken, only to discover that he has repeatedly dialed the wrong number. He celebrates practical robotics through the Roomba, explains how he gets action when a store ignores a customer and argues that the web gives people a powerful way to investigate and participate. Callers bring difficult optical-drive, hard-drive and firewall problems, while Dr. Dave openly admits when he needs more time to think and remains candid about the limits of a product the show is giving away.
