Dr. Gizmo's advice column on consumer technology has appeared in the Syracuse Newspapers for years. Because he values anonymity, the doctor has never revealed his identity, nor has he ever listed his qualifications. Even his PhD. is suspect, and some have insisted it refers to what legions of readers call Gizmo's "phony doctorate." The only known photo of Dr. Gizmo is of poor quality (having been taken without benefit of a camera during what the doctor asserts was a visit to the Sierra Nada a'Lada foothills), but does seem to show a man who would not know a PhD. if he bit one.
But what the doctor does know is gadgets and gizmos. He once remarked that he was proud to have founded the science of gizmology, which he defined as the profligate study of alterior miscreations. No one, not even the doctor, knows quite what that means.
The doctor's super-professionally designed Web pages (created by R.U. Sariyet, an equally mysterious figure) are hosted by his associate and sometime partner, Al Fasoldt. If you are looking for Al's Web pages for information and file downloads, look here. Because the doctor refuses to indulge the Internet postal system, he relies on Al's sometimes fallible goodness to collect, disseminate and, sometimes, read his mail. So use this link to send e-mail to the doctor by way of his erstwhile associate.
