People want Tech Talkback!

Here's some excerpts from emails I've received since Friday 6 August. That's 19 emails in 3 days.
The people have spoken!
It seems they want someone who can solve technology problems on the radio as well as also doing something on TV.
Now of course, Ryan is doing a sterling job in my place on @6PR – but everyone has a different way of approaching problem solving. I'm pretty sure there's room for two.
Let's see if we can get @720perth interested!
What do you think? Add your comments below.
I must admit I miss your tech segments on 6PR. There are not many radio segments I try to take in as a matter of course, but yours was/is definitely one. The 6PR talkback aspect was good coz it gave air to a wide range of problems, which I found good to learn from.
Whilst I am an Apple man, the rest of my family are Windows based, and I am the one who has to sort their problems for them. Coz of you, we are Trend based now….
Would definitely prefer a radio slot by you as it would be more practicable for me as compared to TV. Thus assuming 6PR is finished for you now, I would think approaching the ABC for talkback would be the way to go, but not sure how commercial reality would affect your ability to recommend brands and stuff.

I support the idea of you conducting a full half hour and I mean a FULL HALF HOUR of both tech talk and talkback to people with problems or confusion about the operation of their pc's.
It would be a great deal better to have this segment on the radio during the working week and during working hours, the less than 15 minutes that James Lush gives you on a Sat morning is hardly worth it.
I am prepared to email this to the ABC and to West TV.

I realise this is an odd blog post, but it's worth a try.
I'm a Board Member at West TV. We don't have the biggest budget in the world, so where possible we try to make use of donations and bartering.
We're currently chasing some studio monitors. What would work well is those big old-style CRT TVs that people leave on the verge – or even the older non-high definition plasma screens that no one seems to want anymore.
If you have either of these – and you're happy to pass them through to West TV – let me know and I'll organise for them to be collected.
Of course, if you're feeling particularly generous and you'd like to help us out with getting full high-definition screens, we'd love you to death.
If you're involved in the retail of this kind of product and you'd like to strike some kind of deal involving getting some advertising on the station – we're always happy to chat.
Thanks!

I still don't understand why people are so invested in this. If two people love each other – what's the problem?
