Bob Moog is an aquaintance and customer of mine. My good friend Siox is
his secretary. Is there any thing I might be able to help with? Big Briar
is only eight miles from my house.

Here in India, because of my previous association
with MGM Studios, I
find myself cast (rather unwillingly on my part) as a bit of a celebrity,
and so I have been interviewed by several different reporters from
various media.
During an interview with a fellow from The Hindu, the
largest paper in
India, we got into a discussion of my own personal recording studio and
collection of vintage electronic instruments. I had been asked to
provide photos, which I brought.
In the pack pf pictures, two or three of my computer
collection were
intermingled, and the discussion turned for a few minutes to the
preservation of technology in general, and why anyone would want a house
full of PDP11s, etc. They took several of the photos to run with the
article; I gave them a brief description of the studio and it's
equipment, and... they ran the picture of am DEC stuff, over the caption
for the music gear, after we all agreed *not* to.
I'm *still* getting calls from tech-heads who
can't figure out just
what model Moog Synth takes up 11 linear feet of 6' racks with a Kennedy
9100 stuck in the middle of it.
sigh.
This, more or less, has happened each and every time
I have given a
press interview on a technical subject in the last 15 years.
This one just happens to be classiccmp-related...
Cheers
John
