<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Ted,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks for the memories. I actually started out
working for Video Max back in 1973 and then with Videomagnetics in 1980 so I had
the pleasure of working in both buildings. I still have the original business
plans for Videomagnetics Inc from 1975. I wonder how many people knew that the
founder of Videomagnetics had also started Video Max but lost controlling
interest to CMX and was pushed out after they merged. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Note the proximity of VideoMax to VideoMagnetics on San Lazaro in
Sunnyvale.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>VideoMax is at 154... and Tony's operation, VideoMagnetics is across the
street at 155.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Here's where they were...</DIV>

<DIV>If you zoom in and click on the white stripe in the street, you can use
Street View to see what they look like today.</DIV>

<DIV>Tony Korte moved VideoMagnetics to Colorado Springs. If you visit
on the right evenings, you may be in for some live music in the recording
studio he has next door.</DIV>

<DIV>VideoMax is now in Palo Alto, on Embarcadero Rd., a few doors from where
Merlin Engineering Works was located. Ken Zin may have stories about Merlin to
share sometime.</DIV>
