<DIV>If I remember correctly, was the program for the Profile based on something
out of England that did all sorts of station and newsroom automation? We
never sold any in the Chicago Region that I remember.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Chroma Keyers in the digital switchers was licensed and when did a
beautiful job. I saw a test that a Post House did in the Chicago area and
they showed me the tapes of all the Chroma Keyers from all the switchers.
GVG beat them all and we sold a 1000 for that use.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A couple of things that are worth mentioning. The PC board
manufacturing was out sourced due to EPA concerns. The cost to upgrade the
waste treatment facilities was not worth the investment. At least that was
the official line.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The metal area was interesting to watch. It was a big noise
maker. I remember on the tour that they told us the press came from
Finland.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Out sourcing had been done for a number of products. The module
products such as DA's and converters had been out sourced for years.
Unfortunately I can not remember the product manger's name for modular.
Super nice guy. Long since retired.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We lost so many sales due to the fact that we could not deliver modular
products in the late 90's. Once the trays were installed from another
manufacture, the future sales were lost for good. That was one
of the reasons for the out of house manufacturing. Not being able to
deliver and wanting to keep future sales.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lastly, I the plane was a twin engine Cessna that was based at the Grass
valley Airport. A Cessna 414? Anyone know the exact model?</DIV>
