TechTV Archive @ Markyville.com

When TechTV's website was scrapped by G4 after the two networks merged, complaints poured in about the loss of the articles and tech tips. G4 eventually created the TechTV Vault which supposedly contains all the articles from the TechTV website. This site was created to preserve selected content from the old website which includes wallpaper, desktop themes and theme songs for The Screen Savers and Call For Help, videos of The Screen Savers openings, Bert Monroy's Photoshop tips he demonstrated on The Screen Savers, and miscellaneous graphics from the old website.

Wonder what the old TechTV cast & crew are up to? Most can be seen or heard on following IPTV and podcast networks...
