Hey, it's Ophira. Before we get started, a correction. Last week, we referenced Inventor

Ron Pupil. You know him from his TV info commercials for the Vegematic. Ronco Showtime

Rotisserie ofins and other gadgets.

SET IT AND FORGET IT!

In the clue, we said Ron Pupil had died. Imagine our surprise when we heard from Ron himself.

And he said, quote, I am very much alive. Our apologies to Mr. Pupil, who is clearly

not dead. But wait, there's more. This week, it's an encore episode with Carrie Bichet

from Halt and Catch Fire. Enjoy.

Hey Jonathan. Hey, it's Fira.

Our guest today stars in a TV show about computers in the 1980s. How well do you know

your 80s tech? Speed round. What machine could send images of documents over a standard

phone line? A fax machine.

Yes, what then brand new computer featured a graphical interface and a mouse and greeted

you with a smiling computer face when you switched it on.

Oh, the Mac and Tide.

That's right. And what game mesmerized millions, despite having only six colors in a very

low resolution of three by three by six?

A Rubik's Cube.

From NPR and WNYC, coming to you from the Bellhouse in beautiful Brooklyn, New York, it's NPR's

hour of puzzles, word games, and trivia. Ask me another. I'm Jonathan Colton. Now here's

your host, Ophira Eisenberg.

Thanks Jonathan. We've got a great show for you. Four brilliant contestants are here.
