>>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.
>>
>>--R.E.
