All Good Things
by Computer Ed
It started so many years ago. I was working as Tech Support for a local ISP when I was asked to do a short morning show spot and talk about tech gift buying for the holidays. Almost 20 years later here we are.
Computer Ed Radio has always been a labor of love. I love computers, love PC gaming and technology. I am a true geek and wanted to spread the joy, fun and experiences these things have given me to others.
That love and passion continue today but my life has taken some unexpected and wondrous turns that make doing this show, in a manner and quality level I can be happy with impossible. So rather than do the show in half measures, Doug and I have decided it is better to let it quietly slip away.
I want to thank some people, starting with Pat Benton, Roz Rice and Tom Miller. You all saw something in me that I did not see in myself and your encouragement and support are a big part of getting this show to exist. You taught me about radio and a long the way I learned some life lessons as well, much love to you all.
Next I want to thank my best friend and co-host Doug Berner. Poor Doug wanted to hang out and came to the WJPF studios one day. Man he did not know what he was getting into. One minute he was hanging out with a fried, the next he was co-hosting the show. He came along at a time when I was feeling burned out and breathed new life into the show, a new dynamic.
Next all the folks at WSIU, you have been amazing. When our show needed a home and we thought we where done you gave us two more years in the sun and I cannot express how wonderful it was to work with all of you.
Shannon Robb, my friend and contact with Thermaltake, a company has has supported the show for many years with products for reviews and the last few years with sponsorship for our podcast. While other companies kind of rolled their eyes at us you and the folks at Thermaltake have been nothing but excited and supportive, thank you.
A few other companies that have shown great support overt the years; Kingston, Fractal Designs, Sapphire and many others. We are do grateful for all the great products we have been able to look at.
Of course I cannot end the thank you section without thanking my wife Lisa. She has given up one night a week without complaint. She has been patient with the hours during the week of prep work and let me bounce ideas off her as well as supply some of her own.
Then of course I come to all of you. The faithful that have stuck with this show and are the reason I did it. I hope somewhere along the way some of my passion passed on to you and you in turn passed it on to others.
Now while this is the end of Computer Ed Radio do not mark this as the end of seeing me around. I have been contacted by local media and asked to do quest spots on technology and gaming as well as a few podcasts out there on the Internet. My job with Sapphire has be traveling the country so keep watch on Sapphire’s Facebook page and you might find I will be near you at an event, stop in and say hi.
On behalf of Doug and myself I want to say it has been a wild ride and one I am so glad we could all share together. We will be posting our farewell show on this blog next week. Much love form us to all of you and hope to see you around the world, as the the future, who knows………

Wow. I will miss you, but I’m so EXCITED for you!! Know that I’ll still be thinking of you, and Lisa, often. Will you be permanently moving your home from Southern Illinois? I’m always behind on things including email but I’m so glad I opened this one today. Take care, and by the way don’t ever get so crazy busy that you and Lisa don’t make time to take care of each other.
Fondly, Carla June Bishop
P.S. One of these days when your talking to Bill Gates yell him Carla Bishop said “Hello.” Just a simple girl, wife, mother, meemaw from Southern Illinois.
Also, if you ever finally cross paths with David Read tell him, too that Carla said “Hello.” He should know exactly who you mean.
Over the years, the technology has advanced and PCB Manufacturers today use superior technology for Printed Circuit
Boards’ production. They also sustain enough space between the elements to allow warm dissipation. The screen paste file for surface mount applications will be required to order the stencils for the solder paste application to the board prior to the part placements.
Hi to you both, now a new door opens as another is closed, or maybe just left slightly ajar. Good luck to you Ed on your new path.
I leave you this Iriish blessing ( slightly modified ).
“May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you
In the palm of his hand.”
May you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows you’re dead.

I’m gonna miss the show! So, when’s the Computer Doug show coming?
Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon every day.
It will always be exciting to read through content
from other writers and use a little something from their web sites.
Noooooooooooo! I’m missing your show so much right now! I used to listen every Sunday, always looked forward to hearing you guys after a long week. You’ll be missed greatly. It was a blast geeking out to the radio, hopefully someone will follow in your footsteps someday soon. Best of luck to you all on the show. It feels like your breaking up with me, I’m wondering what will happen to you, whose motherboards you’ll be keeping warm at night.

even failure associated with some other element of the game; they will instead are the

game. Variations of traditional dominoes abound: Triominoes are similar
in theory but are triangular and therefore have three values per tile.
