i use to be an avid watcher of this show back in the day, til they moved it to like 12pm on weekdays and I couldn't watch it because of school. The host would always be nodding his head at the end of each sentence and the visitors would always be watching the computer screen lol.

I used to watch the show a lot as well. It ran on Saturday afternoons here, IIRC.

I actually got to meet the host, Stewart Cheifet, when he came to do a show on the area, as seen here (http://www.archive.org/details/UsersGro2000).

Does he still nods when he finishes a sentence?

I found out about the episodes on archive.org a month or two ago. Cool stuff.
