Hello to Tom & everyone else.

This board stopped functioning when the A.I.M. convention
was going on. This indicates great attendance. I am looking
forward to hearing many interesting reports on your wonderful experience.

WELCOME BACK TO ALL!

AN OLD FOX

Tom, and all others attending and those who wanted to attend, I checked the video tapes I made of the event and they suffer from a few problems.

1. Lighting - like the photos, the video suffers from the brightness of the projector and the relative low level lights in the room. Speakers faces are in deep shadow most of the time.

2. Sound - Since the camera was located so far from the speaker's podium, voices are faint, and sound like they are in a large echoing hall (well we were sort of).

3. Technique - I wanted to listen to and absorb the information that the speakers were giving us, so I did not spend much time zooming, panning, and scanning. It would be a much more visually interesting tape if we could have
moved the camera around more.

4. Presentations - The presentations with a white background show up much better on the video.

I can work on some of these issues, i.e. close miking and better taping technique. However, lighting is a compromise that we will ALL need to agree upon next time.

Tom, I have both Barry and Bob Gammon. I'll get them up this weekend. The lighting conditions were poor, but I took some digital images out by the pool at MGM Grand, and they look great. I'll post one for Bernie, but socal steve can't look!

Sincerely,
RFH

Hi,
I especially liked your version of a new hat. My wife tells me I look good in my new hat and shirt. I wear the hat while I do my transactions with AMEX. I did 4 transactions last week.( all completed satisfactorily).
Got a question. AMEX transaction fee is $14.95 and Waterhouse is $12. Am I saving 12 or 14.95 on each transaction?
