RObert,

He mellowed out

Sorry, What department did you work in ?

When i started i was in home stereo,then i started to sell home computers the comadore vic ten and twenty with the cassete drive.the TI99 (i think that was the number) and a apple 2c we had for show but were supose to sw to the vic 10/vic 20....this same room had the big screens,right about this time the video tapes were just being ignored so i kind of adopted them.nobody wanted to deel with them because most were just rentals...the movies were near the stereo dept and the porns over by david grape,right next to the turntable cartarages.i also sold the video disc.we had both the laser disc from MCA,and the ced from RCA.once a truck load of ced discs was late because of the snow,when the discs came they all skipped .arnie the guy who ordered them ,i think from the brox store. said it was from the cold weather, and after talking it over i decided to take a disc i knew worked home and leave it in the freezer over night.the next day i brought it back to the store and sure enouf it skipped too.the CED discs were just regular lp's with a slick oily supstance on them, with video insted of auido.they slid in the player in a protective case then you pulled the case out leaving the lp like disc in the player.a special cartarage played them.then you stuck the case back in and took the disc back out.....they sucked compared to the MCA/IBM laser disc...word got back to the RCA and they called to ask about them i said they were the "8 track of the home video industry" basicaly comparing them to 8 track vs. cassete tape.I told my friend Barry Taylor about the call and the next week in billboard magazing i was qouted.rca called eddies and were pisssed i had said it,but the truth is the truth laser was far better. a month or so later they shut down production of the machines and they went the way of the betamax ( betamax was mauch better than VHS ,but died for adiffert reason). i think Barry Taylors cousin worked in promotion or advertising....thats cool you went to school with alison she was very nice and i loved her voice.i think her and sal moved to fla....i sure thats what dave grape told me.i saw him around 1990 he owned a video rental store in pompano beach that's now closed.there was a girl named maria who dated shawn cahill from home stereos also.it's cool lots of people hooked up at eddies..i left the store around spring 1982 some guy got my home number from sombody at eddies and callled me at home,it was on a sunday morning.he said you don't know me but i've heard that your very knolagable about home video.he said he owned a store on the upper west side of manhatten and if i would come talk to him he would give me $100 cash.that was alot of money back in 1982 i think i made about $250 a week working 40 hours(and had just gotten a raise which had been left off my check and david kammet had given me in cash because i was going to quit).so i thought i would just go get this guys money hear what he had to say,tell him no thanks and that would be that.BUT when i got to his store at 69th and cloumbis after about and hour of talk Yoko Ono walked in and asked me to help her.i was sold.i was a huge beatles fan and nuts over music videos.i had a huge collection and sharron dayon used to tape 6 hour vhs tapes for me.it was very hard the next day to call my stereo manager Bruce and tell him i was leaving but the guy offered me $500 a week to manage the Video connection .besides eddies i also worked at night at CBGB's as a barback,so being in the city was much better for me.but i still saw the edddies people in the 6th ave store and the then new store up town.......every time i come here i remember more stuff thanks for asking.
