I did a quick search and didn't see any mention of this on the forums.

For those of you who watch G4TechTV you probably remember a little show called Call For Help with Leo Laporte. And when G4 and TechTV merged the show was canceled in the US version of the new station.

Luckily for us Canadians G4TechTV Canada made a deal with Leo to make Call For Help for Canada.

Anyway long story short, Today (Oct 4th, 2004) Leo and his co-host Andy Walker showcased Messenger Plus! as the Free File of the day.

Here is a link to the show notes. The notes are pretty sparse but there it is.

I am assuming they will add the link to msgplus.net  They did mention the site on the show and showed some of the options as well as the website.

So Patchou, if you see a little bump in traffic on the official site this might be why.

Sorry I don't have a videoclip of it. I'll see if I can maybe make one, but I have no where to host it.

Take care folks!

Heyy you can host it on my web site and i'll just make a link on the forums here!

Cool.. I would really like to see this video . I still have the tape of the review TechTV made on Messenger Plus! 1.4 two years ago

Got the clip!

Sorry about the dodgy cutting & pasting of video... I was in a hurry to get it online.

BTW, here's the thread from last time Plus! was on TV: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=2158

Nice work WDZ!

Those guys made me laugh. Almost like they didn't know what they were doing or what they were talking about. As they were going through the Preferences panel, I couldn't help but think it was the first time they'd seen it, and were just reading features off of the screen

Nice to see Plus getting some coverage on TV though.

You da man WDZ! Thanks for snagging that.

* Captain Ghost looks at the link to the old topic

Whoa . . . deja vu . . .

Looks like the only time I come to these forums is to tell you that Plus! is on TV

Yeah considering the show is not live any more you would think they would be a bit more prepared to show off such a kick a$$ program. Still though . . . Plus! on TV!!

Excellent, thank you very much. If you notice, these guys installed the sponsor and the didn't even noticed it was there... talk about a software that "takes control of your computer". Anyway, that's a very nice review, thanks for sharing it.

I think you'll need the DivX codec installed to see the video.

Download and install this.

K-Lite Codec Pack

So that you know, yes, , I can see the sponsor was installed because of the desktop icons .

they missed the ! sign in Messenger Plus!

and its fun when he says that its free because people is generous, he really doesnt know about the sponsor He would have mentioned it .
