How could anyone with an IQ above 85 be suckered into
coating their CD recordings with Armor All? At best it would
do nothing bad or good (although fooling with it would eat
up a lot of time doing the applying) and at worst it could
damage the discs.

Apparently, in some cases it did just that. I believe that
Tellig did a follow-up column later on that explained how to
remove Armor All.

What a joke.

Now you get it: a joke. Or do you think he was serious with his $1.25
tweak, too?

I think he was being serious, just like so many other
misguided, sub-educated, and downright dumb tweako
journalists are serious. Like John, this guy was not aware
of just how impressionable the magazine's readers were (and
remain). Remember, he had to publish a retraction that also
described how to remove the Armor All. I think he was dead
serious with both columns, and his readers were dead
serious, too.

You think the $1.25 tweak was "dead serious"?
