Watch The Secret Life Of Machines
This is an excellent series about how things work. Right now (10/9/04
1:00AM Central Time) I'm watching the episode about TVs. It's on the Science Channel (I don't work for them) so check out their website for details about when it's on. I can't praise it enough. The shows host & sidekick are very knowledgeable & explain things in a very down to earth & thorough manor. I used to watch it in the early 90's on the Discovery Channel & I'm glad to see that the series is being shown again. Mark |

@ 11:00 AM The Secret Life of Machines Video Recorder Will be on tomorrow! Mike I wholehaertedly agree with this! Secret life of... was a great, amusing series, the working of technology explained in laymans terms. The one about the vcr was also very good, sadly its the only episode I have lost. That series brings back a few memories, we even saw a few programmes in school years ago. I used to love the endings and the crazy things they did with the old machines to give them a spectacular send-off Ben |
What I loved about that series is that Michael was a REAL person, if rough
around the edges. He had dirt under his fingernails,not your usual program star. Very whimsy, funny, and most of all, educational! Regards, Tom "Ish" wrote in message ...

Is this the show where, in one episode, at the end, a huge heap of old
televisions was set on fire?? I hope it's available in Canada. "MarkC" wrote in message ... This is an excellent series about how things work.

I loved those guys!. They even left in the surprised looks when something
sparked, blew up, or melted down. I also enjoyed the bonfire made from a pile of televisions (with power on, of course). -Ron "MarkC" wrote: This is an excellent series about how things work.
