Paul On The Computer Chronicles

I was the weekly software reviewer in 133 episodes of the late PBS program The Computer Chronicles (1983-1992), as well as a commentator (1987-88) and a regular on what was the Christmas show and became the Annual Buyers Guide show (1985-1999). The show went out of production during its 20th year, in December, 2002.
