Did you have to walk a mile to get to a television and watch it? How much effort does one have to extend to watch a program?

Sorry if I misled ... it was very bare bones, but for dumdums like me who are new to the world of mechanics/engineering/technology, I thought it was interesting. I couldn't listen that well to it because I'm at work and my co-workers were talking, but it seemed that they didn't cover much of the combustion engine, gasoline or diesel, which was kind of disappointing. The wankel thing was kind of interesting ... I didn't realize that anyone still toyed with that technology.

For the most part I really like Modern Marvels. They had one on the history of SUVs that covered a lot of Jeep and Land Rover history, which was cool. One of my favorites was the special on COFFEE ... being a big coffee connossieur, I liked that.
