Dr. Dave looks back on the job selling computers that unexpectedly became his calling: his constant questions initially drove his trainers crazy, but within a few years those same people were calling him for help. A father-and-son argument over whether a falling tree makes a sound shows that same curiosity in family life, while an extended fortieth-anniversary history of Ethernet lets Dr. Dave and Evil Steve remember networks from coaxial cable and Artisoft through modern home connections. The closing Memorial Day reflection thanks those who died in service and makes a broader point that nothing human is perfect, but imperfection does not mean nothing is honorable or worth defending. The complete show also preserves period discussion of Windows 8, Mac maintenance, cloud choice, office software, Google Maps, smartphones, racing and downloadable three-dimensional firearm plans.
