$8f2|1-THE COMPUTER CHANNEL REVIEWED
$9e7 BY DAVE DIAMOND
$f7f
For those of you who haven`t bought the sky tv channel expander you will
have missed out on britains first (and probably last) "dedicated"
computer channel. Broadcasting every day from 6pm until 8pm this so
called channel gives up 4 shows,each with different aspects of
computers.

[I have 2 satellite systems in my bedroom and 2 dishes, 1 with 2 LNB's
so I think I can get The Computer Channel. 8) Kei]
$f7f
First up and probably the worst is the 6.00 show which every night has a
different theme like reviewing hardware,internet and the future.
It is hosted by the most thickest man in television history - will
hanrahan (which is a goofy name anyway).
The problem with old will is that he is just TOO thick,for example when
asked about music sampling the guest said "o.k now I`m going to select a
midi sample" to which will responded..."whoa slow down a minute"...what
the f**k???
He says this all the time and another time asked how much this printed
was, "£299" said the guest, "ok (said will) lets call it £300 to make
things easier"..what a complete spaz!!!
The parents who review the hardware are completely baffled by everything
and the dude who introduces us to the hardware (a ex games world
employee) is called geezer gadget...um excuse me but I thought this was
going to be a `sensible` discussion???
All of these show by will are completely crap,for example when asked
about whether a new digital camera could be downloaded onto any
computer,geezer gadget said "yes it will download on any computer as
long as it`s a pc" read my words...WHAT A TOSSER!
After will comes kate russel (sexy chick) and big boy barry..yes him of
games world fame. Many of you would have cringed at the thought of the
big boy (real name alex verry) but I actually like him because the show
runs along at a very nice pace with great quips and generall humour from
the big boy (who looks as if he has put on ALOT of weight since last
time).
Such humour refers to kate russels `kitty` which is the prize `box` of
course refering to what we in the medical field call `the clitoris`.
Such gems are: boy kate you can certainly squeeze alot in your tight
kitty!
Also (not to be totally sexist) is barrys sack which holds alot of
stuff...(!)
The reviews are by ravi choprer (a u.s gold game tester -well he WAS)
and ex violet blade dude rik something-or-other.
All of these are good until 15 minutes into the show where they show old
repeats of beat the elite and the eliminator....I wonder what happened
to colin the console cowboy and chums?
Generally this channel would survive for a number of reasons...
1) Ignores all other non pc computers...no amigas
2) 2 hours for a channel..no way it should be much longer
3) Is too childish at times
4) Doesn`t appeal to us `scene guys and traders!`
5) It has will hanaran in it.
Before I go I would just like to say to that ex violet blade `star` (who
looks gay) F**K YOU!
Why? well they were reviewing x2 the sequel to project x,riks comment
was `project x first came out on a machine no one owns anymore`...piss
off rik I`m using one now and if i was to choose between having a up to
the date pc or my amiga i would stick with this one because it`s the
best..it`s carried the best,it`s developed the best and it will always
be..THE BEST!
See you!
