Random, yes. Accessed? You bet. Gene, Mark and Al, the trio that turned Central New York radio into the highest form of nonsense, chat on the air a few years ago at the studios of a downtown radio station. This photo -- a still frame from a video -- turned up among the hundreds of MP3 files of the broadcasts of Random Access, the show the three men hosted for computer call-in questions. Recordings of Random Access shows will be available again for download soon. The hosts were Gene Wolf, right, the show's originator; Mark Yafchak, upper left, the TV producer responsible for Point 'n' Click, the award-winning TV call-in show, and Al Fasoldt, lower left.
