« Leo finds a piece of crap somewhere! (I hope.) | Main | Giz Wiz, Week of April 30th, 2013, Netcast 1414 »

This Week's Gadget Warehouse is another great Viewer's Video! And how to submit your video and win crap from Leo!

What was state of the art in the world of laptops back in 1987? Charles Bunnell of Berkeley, California takes us on a tour of The Toshiba T1200. It was an astounding machine, feather light at about 9 pounds, with a full hour of battery life. Pretty amazing what we have today, some 26 years later. As a matter of fact, in this video, Charles compares the Toshiba T1200, which cost thousands when it was brand new, with a laptop that cost a few hundred dollars today!

Thank you, Charles Bunnell, of Berkeley, California. Now that your video has been shown on The Giz Wiz, Leo will send you a piece of Sky Mall Crap -- for free!

See or hear this show: www.twit.tv/giz1415

We'd love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show. Here's what we're looking for:

Your home made Videos -- two to three minutes long - (four maximum) in the any of the following categories:

I bought a piece of crap! Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.

I Invented This! Do you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions.

My Gadget Warehouse! Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it. 

My favorite gadget of all time! Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be something you just bought too.

Post them on YouTube and send our producer, Jason, the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long, 4 MAX! Low production value is fine. Even welcomed! That way our stuff doesn't look bad by comparison. We've set the bar low. Don't trip over it.

NEW! NEW! NEW! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you will now be awarded with some sort of prize. It's Leo's way to get rid of all the "crap from Sky Mall" he's collected. So there's one more (so-so) reason to send in your video!

All show submissions go to gizwiz@twit.tv
