As for the trivia question I am going to take a stab and say Max Headroom.

Cheers xpert11 .

Aah, Max Headroom was my first guess, too. But I will say that Justin is refering to KITT from Knight Rider, mainly because I don't remember Max Headroom ever being syndicated. As I recall, it had it's short run and was never heard from again.

KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) is a car, with computer augmentation.

Max Headroom is a computer program.

While you guys are puzzling out this computer conundrum, I'd like to direct your attention to this nifty little surprise.

Of course it could be a trick question I don't recall the computer in Star Trek The Next Generation having a name.

Cheers xpert11.

Nope. Not that one, either. I'll bet Dave knows...but he's not eligible for this contest.

All right, then, I'm gonna go with Ziggy from Quantum Leap.

The show ran from '89 to '93 though, so I'd say it's more of a '90s show than an '80s show. Loved it.

That's the answer I'm looking for. You are the winner! Dave will stop by with your 500 hand-made appplause points Just as soon as he is able.

Done!

Justin is without a doubt correct...
In countries which are Communismist, there is a repression of a free media. For this man to hold up China...one of worst violators of human rights...as a good model of Communism, because it feeds its population...it discredits him greatly.
he is right, it is safer to be a journalist in China than in Iraq. But why is that? Because as long as you tow the party line and help promote the government, all is well.
does he not realize Christians are killed for their beliefs in China?
Or is that only propaganda as well?
