Not off topic Tony. It was historic access technology after all.

Hi Eleanor again & All!
I'm not (contrary to popular belief? compiling or writing up a feature on
"Technology Now & Then for Vips".
I would love if someone could do just that!
This was a wonderful response, far beyond my wildest thoughts, the response!
I will save all those emails.
Perhaps a magazine or radio might wish to follow up on this?
For what it is worth please feel free to make contact with me.
Have put out the question only but really have learned so much that I truly
didn't know about!
Some of course, yes!
Think that is good to reflect back and appreciate what advances have taken
place, respecting "the old" and the new.
Looks that some old indeed can live very happily with the new and visa
versa!
Thanks again to George cause it at times may have appeared to have bbeen
off topic but was important to set a context for where we are now in
technology re before.
Thanks you all yet again!
Regards
Tony
