[QuadList] SSSM has been taken down

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

I did not know about this....site.... otw I would have stashed it   just as I 
have all the other vtr sites

using archive.org  which I have used to recover some old sites   we get...   
which kept search engines from  logging it.. but also  kept archive form 
logging it too..    the method I use, if a live  site is up... I can still grab and 
stash it.
 
why  did he take this posture?  I do not know him... was he  greedy? Did he 
have a group of pages on the site he wanted/needed to hide? we  may never  know 
as he is dead.... and unfortunately unless someone else  copied it off his 
site is dead forever also.

I've just found out that one of my trusted resources for old TV  
editing and VTR information has been taken off the web.  After Jack  
Calaway died, I guess no one was around to maintain the site.
Did anyone have the foresight to save it and put it back up on the  
internet?  If it disappears, that would be a great loss.  Here's  what 
Ted Langell said on another list about Calaway in November when his  
passing was announced:

Jack operated Software Systems/Sierra  Madre
http://www.sssm.com/

and hosted a virtual Museum of Early Video  Editing Equipment and 
Techniques on the  site:
http://www.sssm.com/editing/museum/index.html

He was responsible  for the Calaway series of PC based editors, and had 
a hand in developing  other equipment.

Among other things that Jack developed was the AVRS,  which the Museum 
describes as the "first film to video tape edit controller.  It was 3:2 
aware, and insured that all edits on the tape occurred between  film 
frames. AVRS controlled a Rank telecine and two VTR's via CMX  
compatible interface's."

It was succeeded by the Time Logic  Controller, which lives on as a 
DaVinci Systems product.

Read more  about it  here:

....in  an article by Jim Lindelien, who was one of TLC's developers.

I hope the  museum website stays up. Its a great resource and archive 
for things that  otherwise may be lost.

Perhaps someone ought to back up the  pages?
