What's Wrong With my 165c PB?

Hi Derek, I am also a big fan of your podcast and I know how you feel in falling behind on it. I started up two podcasts and then let them slide. You did a lot of episodes though.

Also, you were my inspiration for reading a book into a podcast - "Stan Veit's History of the Personal Computer." I am finally working on it again and almost done with chapter 2. It's a great book and I want to follow through on completing it. I hope to start up my Classic Computing podcast again soon too. Take care, David
