Dr. Dave compares fear of computers to math anxiety and reminds listeners that technology problems usually come down to people. Callers bring security questions and an extraordinary story about stolen laptops being traced through remote access, while Dr. Dave weighs convenience against keeping important information under one’s own control. He explains that a computer becomes obsolete only when it no longer does what its owner needs, and recalls pushing a manufacturer to honor rebates for a consulting client. The show also includes proud family talk about Dr. Dave's son Nick’s football game and the easy rapport between Dr. Dave and Evil Steve.
