>Dear All,
>
>I have just created a Youtube channel called OptaconMovies. The direct URL
>is:
>http://www.youtube.com/optaconmovies
>
>The purpose of this channel is both to preserve and document the history of
>the Optacon, as well as to genearate interest in the development and
>manufacture of a new model. If you have additional movies or videos related
>to the Optacon that you would like to contribute to this Youtube channel,
>please e-mail me off list or contact me from the 'send message' link on this
>channel's main page.
>
>
>Thanks to Jim Bliss for finding some old 16 mm film reels in his garage
>relevant to the Optacon. We've converted two of them, and I've already
>posted the first video, from 1964, about the very early days of
>Optacon-related research. The second video, a movie from the early
>70s called "The Story of
>the Optacon" created by Storer Broadcasting, has also been posted.
>
>Enjoy! And if you have relevant video, please let me know about it. I
>think this is a great way to archive some of the Optacon's history that may
>otherwise be lost.
