<DIV>Hi David:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You said "Perhaps the heavy weights here on the list i.e. Gary Adams, John
Turner, Don Norwood, Chris Hill, Trevor Brown and others". Well, I have
put on a few pounds recently, but not nearly enough to be considered a "heavy
hitter"! And seriously, especially when it comes to RCA, these other guys
know way more than I do. This editor was new to me, so thanks for
sharing!</DIV>

<DIV>I do not know if this product ever came out, but certainly from what I
can tell by pulling brochures from the DC Video file cabinet is that I picked
up this printed material in 1978 or so and it appeared to be a real product.
But I never heard of any implementation. Perhaps the heavy weights here on the
list i.e. Gary Adams, John Turner, Don Norwood, Chris Hill, Trevor Brown and
others who were associated with RCA gear (perhaps the recipient of a sales
pitch or two) could elaborate. If 1978 is an accurate time period for this
product to be marketed, then I think we have to keep in mind what the
competition was then i.e. Ampex ACE, CMX 340, ISC, Mach 1, and perhaps some
others that I've failed to mention. If one looks at the CRT display here, it's
a bit convoluted compared to the industry standard at the time (in my
opinion), that being the CMX 340. So perhaps the RCA AE 6000 was a little too
late to come to market. </DIV>
