What is a “Tech Potato”?

Way back in 1992 I coined the term “Desk Potato” while designing a satellite receiver that displayed satellite TV in a window on a PC. After the Mosaic web browser was released in 1993, I started a site called The Desk Potato home page talking about how the Couch Potato was changing into a creature stuck in front of a computer.

Thank-you for visiting The Tech Potato.
As of the end of June, 2019 the primary server has fallen and can’t get up. I am working on rebuilding the site, newer and better! Please come back soon!
Thank heavens for the Internet Archive ...
