DVR Alert: Cisco, Amazon and George Foreman
Cisco will be featured this week in The History Channel’s presentation of "Modern Marvels: 90s Tech." Long-time Cisco employee Dave Evans, chief technologist of Internet Business Solutions Group (IBSG), will talk about the early days of the Internet and the importance of the router in the development of Web.
The show premieres tomorrow, Thursday, February 7, at 8 p.m. EST/PST (please check local listings).
The "90s Tech" episode looks back to the end of the 20th century and the beginning of today’s trendy technologies. The program will cover DVDs to TiVO to GPS, and how the digital gadgets we can’t live without all started in the 1990s—and, of course, how Cisco and the router made the Web accessible to the world.
Also featured will be Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and former heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman, who will show how to "knock out the fat" with one of the best-selling cooking appliances of the 1990s...which I enjoy using to make a nice grilled cheese sandwich.
You can view some Cisco milestones here.

I just finished watching the 90's Tech episode and Cisco was not mentioned at all. Does anyone know what happened and why Cisco was not featured?
Cisco Note: Dave Evans of our IBSG group was featured for several different soundbites about 90's Internet technology and some of our equipment was featured as well.
