G'day folks,
WOW! I was poking through my files and I came across an old
piece of email from Mike Farren at Atari. Turns out that he
was referring me to Larry Rosenthal, creator of Cinematronics/
Vectorbeam hardware. (Unfortunately Mike never mentioned
Larry's name in the email, so my later searches using Larry's
name never produced that email.) Anywho, I call the number,
and guess who's on the other side of the phone! Larry Rosenthal!!
Being quite busy, he couldn't spend much time talking (besides
I didn't exactly have alot of questions for him since I didn't
expect to be successful). But he did seem to enjoy talking about
the old days at Vectorbeam!!
Since it was my first conversation with him, I didn't discuss the
posibility of a conference call with all of you on the line. I'll
broach the topic next time I talk with Larry.

ps - A bit of history for you guys. Larry sold Vectorbeam to
Cinematronics, but the circumstances were odd. Vectorbeam had
tons of debt and the patents. So essentially Larry gave them
everything (debt and patents) so he could walk away from it all.
