Ugh, yes, after he got full on shafted by the former world team.
20 years later he is still bitter. Go watch Rubbish Heap and you'll understand why he was left behind.

Jay Leno gave him a brand new TG16 in the box on live TV. I can't remember if this was before or after Leno took over the show. Before Johnny Carson retired, Leno would fill in for him on Tuesdays.

If this really happened (and it wasn't a dream of yours, ha! (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcds.png)), then we gotta find a clip of this!

Here's an old thread... Matthew Sweet and Green Jelly LOVE TG-16/PCE

I'm still hoping to find the answers to those eternal questions... (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcds.png)
