You want the CEO to answer basic programming questions?????
Why in the world would the CEO waste their time on that rot? You want a CEO who makes strategic decisions and sets a vision for a company. If you put Bill Gates on the Microsoft help desk, he'd make a fool of himself. This doesn't mean he isn't an extremely effective CEO. I bet Charlie slaps himself on the back every time he gets an answer right.
Charlie took a vision of a TV over satellite company, and built a multi-billion dollar empire, leaving many others in his wake. That he & Jim have a good ol' boy raw quality to them on the broadcasts is humorous. I like how they both still have a lot of enthusiasm for their industry after 25 years. Heck, if I had $7,000,000,000 in the bank, I wouldn't go on TV or keep bumping heads with Murdoch, I'd be kicking back at any one of 20 luxury condos that I owned, located in exotic locations around the world. All the time laughing at those who laughed at me.
The fact that the low-budget, cobbled together chats still continue is funny. They are a throw-back to Charlie & Jim's lowly beginnings, and really haven't progressed all that much over the years.
I don't why people tune in to them and think they are going to be some great source of information. Every once in a while, there is an interesting tidbit.
