face=Arial>Celebrating four years of Quad Conversations, July 25,
2012<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR><BR><BR><BR>
<DIV>Just a note that the QuadList celebrates its Fourth Birthday,
today.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It began in the wee hours of Friday, July 25, 2008 in part to alert folks
to an evening event in Los Angeles that featured four Quad videotapes from the
UCLA film and television archive.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The event featured BetacamSP playback of the restored version of the
oldest color Quad videotape in existence, the WRC-TV/NBC Washington, DC
color studio dedication—featuring President Eisenhower...</DIV>

<DIV>A Pre-show dinner was also being set up.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I entered the names and e-mails of 13 other people and then sent this
message:</DIV>

<DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">
<DIV>
<DIV>You're on this list because you either: </DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>•Showed up for the informal event on Tuesday at NAB this year</DIV>
<DIV>•You expressed an interest in response to postings on the TIG, AMIA or
Old VTR's lists, or </DIV>
<DIV>•I know you have an interest or passion for Quad
video.</DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The list grew by several subscribers later in the day, a handful more by
the 29th and now has 138 receiving postings out of 148 in the list.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Our current QuadList membership includes folks with no Quad experience,
some who have trained themselves to run machines or restore them, others who
have been editors using Quads on up to to highly experienced engineers with 45
years or more maintaining what some fondly call "these beasts."</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Our members seem to be on all continents except Antarctica, unless I'm
mistaken thinking we have members on the African continent.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Without checking, I know we have members in the US, Canada, UK, France,
India, Australia and New Zealand... and I think we have at least one in South
Africa.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Please pipe up if I've missed your whereabouts (or never knew.)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The Quad Videotape Group—largely through the QuadList—has been able to
help folks obtain information and assistance in restoring machines to
operation and keeping them running, and in safely handling older tapes.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>In doing so, that has enabled recovery of content, and has passed on
knowledge about Quad. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Because of that, there's a greater possibility of recovering the content
from Quad tapes now sitting on shelves or stacked in dark spaces around the
world. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thank you for being part of this ongoing process.</DIV>
