[edit] Trivial finding

It's at the bottom. worried about the phone # though... http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/1395249.html

[edit] Coffee

I took out the referance to coffee. When I was a guest on the Chris Prillo show I showed him this entry and he told me that he does not drink coffee any more. Jake of 8bitjoystick.com

[edit] TechTV Termination

Chris was reportedly terminated from TechTV after he had accepted a job from Microsoft to work on their Windows Longhorn project. Rather than resigning from TechTV, he began slacking and using foul language on live broadcasts, prompting the management to bring in Leo Laporte to replace him. Eventually his behavior had the desired effect; rather than accept a demotion to an off-camera position, he quit or was summarily asked to leave. See [1] There are other versions to this story, but I don't don't think they have much credibility.   Quicksilver 23:57, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
