<DIV>First the pictures did not make it through on my PC</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A couple of interesting things in the news letter.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The new computer installation had the whopping memory of about 200
meg. Just think what you could store with that amount.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Second the pay raise was 40 cents an hour that was granted. Some of us
would love to see that in these times but 40 cents back then was a lot.

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">Harris had a direct connection to 2" quad: The
Harris 590 TBC. I ran a VR 1200 in a truck in Ohio for NBC college
basketball that had one in lieu of the Amtec/Colortec etc. NBC Burbank had a
590 for month hooked up to a TR 70A for demo purposes in the early
80's. </BLOCKQUOTE>
