September 04, 2022

The column to the right on this blog contains permanent content, most of which has appeared at one time or another in the main body. I’ve decided to include a reminder.

Paul On The Computer Chronicles

I was the weekly software reviewer for the late PBS program The Computer Chronicles (1984-1992), 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.

My all-time favorite movie:
Groundhog Day. I have created a fan site that is universally acknowledged to be the best on the Internet dedicated to this work of art.
All the rest of my favorite movies (Deadline USA, The Paper, CitizenKane) are Journalism movies.
