[NJARC] American Genius - Farnsworth vs. Sarnoff Monday June 8, 9:00 PM on NGCHD Channel

[David Sica]

Also, *Jobs vs. Gates* had many computers and other props supplied by our
InfoAge neighbors, MARCH (they apparently made a nice chunk of change on
that deal) and MARCH president Evan Koblentz served as technical consultant
during the filming.
