<div>The story I heard about Vital's early history is that it was founded by two brothers one of whom was an engineer. They used money from the family's primary business which was import/export of oriental carpets. The engineer brother died and the other brother had trouble setting priorities for product development. This was further aggravated by a constant turnover of key people at the engineering level. Toward the end they simply spent less and less time finishing up the design of potentially outstanding products.</div>

<div>It was a disaster for them. There was a core of folks that went on to create Video Gainesville. VGV. They never really got anywhere. </div>

<div>This was the second family member if I remember. The brother may have passed on and he took over. Is this true?</div>
