Download: The True Story of the Internet
This program is about a revolution -- the technological, cultural, commercial and social revolution that has radically changed our lives.
Hear how it happened from the men and women who made it possible.
From the founders of eBay, Yahoo, Amazon, Netscape, Google and many others, you'll hear amazing stories of how, in ten short years, the Internet took over our lives. These extraordinary men and women tell us how they went from being geeky, computer obsessed nerds to being 21st-century visionaries in the time it takes most people to get their first promotion. And, how they made untold billions along the way.
There are opportunities right now for people with imagination and vision that have never been possible at any time in the past. The internet has and is still opening vistas and avenues for entrepreneurs that have never been possible before. "There's gold in them thar hills"... Saddle up your mule and load up your pick-axe, and come prospecting with me.

Help Me with My PC
For years I've been asked; "where can I learn" and "how can I avoid this problem in the future".
And after having made my living repairing and servicing thousands of personal computers, I know first hand that most of them could have avoided time in the shop and the associated expense, if there were some easy way for the "regular" computer users/owners to learn how to solve and prevent computer problems.
I've scoured the web over the last several years looking for help for the "non-geeks", and although there are thousands of sites available for those who understand "geek-speak", as well as another thousand or so that advertise "for only $49.95" (or whatever they charge), there is little or no help available for the vast majority of the computer owners who need help the most.
Millions of people use music file sharing programs, millions also upload and view videos on YouTube, millions also use Google and Yahoo to search for everything including help. Most don't find help, of any useful sort.
