Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The Computer Guys and Gal debate deep philosophical questions — like whether Twitter is a “killer app” or just a flash in the pan; whether we’ll ever see low-priced Macs; whether you should get your mom a tech-oriented Mother’s Day gift. Join us as we tackle the big topics in technology — and take your questions.
