Jim,

I'm of the newer generation that watched him in the 80's.  There were
two inspiring shows that I remember: the light pen, where he had a
computer that he could use to 'draw' on the monitor; and an episode
about vacuum, demonstrating that there is a maximum limit that
something could draw... first from the neighbourhood boy's lungs
(didn't go very far), then to a vacuum pump, which made it further,
but still hit a limit.

He will be missed.  I'm thinking about buying the DVD set for my
nephews who are getting to be the right age for the shows.
