His character might be an IT pro on the show, but in real life maybe an etch-a-sketch is more his level?
Can't we get anybody more qualified than an actor to talk about technology?
And come on, He said PowerBook G5 (maybe it was just a typo) - big freakin' deal - can all you geeks name the latest model of KitchenAid dishwasher?
The only idiocy is why he gets an article published about it. Give the guy a break.
