Point & Click Radio (est. 1995) is a cornerstone of KZYX Public Affairs programming. We are entering our twelfth year of computer industry reporting, and helping KZYX listeners solve the unsolvable, print the unprintable, and generally get control of those darn, pesky, computer problems. Please help support our strictly volunteer efforts by becoming a member of Mendocino County Public Broadcasting.
If you have a computer question or a problem, or just want to keep up with Macs, PCs, the Internet and all things computed, digitized, pixellated, or otherwise jacked-in to the cybercloud, join us on KZYX & KZYZ.
Each edition of Point and Click Radio is simulcast live on the Internet via RealAudio. Our Webcasts are made possible by the generosity of the Mendocino Community Network.
(To listen, you'll need the free RealPlayer from RealNetworks. To get the free RealPlayer, hunt for the (almost invisible) "FREE RealPlayer" link on the download page, not the "Free Download" Button which takes you to the "RealOne SuperPass" monthly fee service.)
