Computer Stew is a really interesting, really fun web experiment. Basically, some guys decided to see that if they could make a daily show with less than $3000 in startup costs, using the Net for distribution and consumer grade hardware. The short answer is, yup, they can, and the result is sometimes funny as heck. If you only have time to see one episode, check out notepad.exe, in all-singing all-dancing music video tribute to everyone's favorite Windows text editor. "N to the O to the T to the E, P to the A, D, E, X, E my Notepad!"(I love how one of the characters was always a voice over a speakerphone)
So that song has stuck with me for decades. I saved the crappy realmedia file for the video - I don't have anything to view it anymore, but I tried converting it to mp4....
the quality is SUPER bad but I'm not sure if that's the conversion or just what we had way back in those pre-youtube days.
