[QuadList] Post a message and get a good story with TR-70 in action

[Ted Langdell]

I had posted a notice about the AMIA Conference and our Quad dinner  
to the Telecine Internet Group at the same time as my post to the  
QuadList.

Just into my e-mail box is this message from Ian Richardson, who  
attached a photo of a TR-70 in action at the Australian National Film  
and Sound Archive in Canberra.

Here's his e-mail to me... and an invitation for Ian and his mate  
George to join the fun and see your replies by subscribing to the  
QuadList here:

Never know when someone may need his Smith Splicer or a trained hand  
to use it :)

Ian:  Any chance the Xmas reel will see the light of YouTube or  
another world-wide venue?

Ted.
