If you think all computer shows are the same, think again! The
distinctive personalities and technical expertise of Michael, Nick,
and Mr. Modem create a unique chemistry that appeals to everyone who
uses a computer. The hosts' high-energy, humor-laden banter ranges
from goofy to geeky, with more emphasis on the 'goof' than the 'geek.'
Michael, Nick, and nationally syndicated columnist and author Mr.
Modem draw from their many years of experience in all facets of
computing and each week cover topics ranging from PC news, tips,
tricks, trends, gaming, Linux, hardware, software, a few rants and
raves, plus Nick's world-famous 'Nerd Knows,' and Mr. Modem's highly
acclaimed, Pulitzer-lacking, 'Mr. Modem's Desktop' and the prestigious
'Digital Doofus' award segments.
Michael Cady, Nick Coons, and Mr. Modem are the hosts
of the PC Chat Computer Radio Show.
Michael Cady - Over 20 years ago, Michael crossed paths with a Timex Sinclair computer,
decided it was love at first byte, and has been living and breathing technology almost
ever since. Today, he is the President of a local computer company, helped to found a
PC-recycling charity (kidcomputers.org), and
is knowledgeable about all facets of computing. Michael is also the show's resident
trouble-maker.
Nick Coons - Any computer show worth its weight in
floppies needs a die-hard, fingers-to-the-keyboard
geek, and Nick is PC Chat's Chairman of the Circuit
Board. Nick began programming when he was eight
years old and his passion for all aspects of
computing has grown through the years. Nick's
advanced networking and programming skills include
DOS, Windows, Linux, and Unix. Whatever it is, Nick
knows it and puts it to good use as CEO (with
Michael) of the aforementioned computer company.
Computing is such an integral part of his life, he
even met a girl on the Internet who has since become
his wife!
Richard Sherman - "Mr. Modem" began his computing
career with a dual-floppy Zenith computer and
monochrome monitor that emitted more radiation
than Three Mile Island on a bad day. To this day,
Mr. Modem makes a lovely night light. From that
humble start in 1981, Mr. Modem began writing about
computers and the Internet and today writes the
nationally syndicated "Ask Mr. Modem" column, writes
for several magazines including Reader's Digest,
hosts the "Mr. Modem Minute" produced by FOX-TV, is
an eight-time author, winner of the "Computer Book
of the Year" award for his "Mr. Modem's Internet
Guide for Seniors," and as a technological humorist,
is a popular speaker. Mr. Modem publishes the
weekly "Ask Mr. Modem" newsletter that, according to
ABC personality Paul Harvey, "takes the gobbledygook
out of computers." Mr. Modem is married to Mrs.
Modem, a psychiatrist (which explains a lot) and they
have three furry, feline daughters.
Together, Michael, Nick and Mr. Modem bring to
listeners world-wide more than 50 years of computer
expertise. PC Chat, which made its debut in August
2001, exists to help anyone who uses a computer,
from first-time users to savvy surfers, from
teenagers to seniors.
