>>PMFJI – But I was wondering if you are the same Jeff Sauer who went on a
cruise in the Manhattan harbour last summer?<<
No, I wasn't on a cruise in New York last summer (nor am I the coach
for the Wisconsin Badger hockey team). It is funny you should ask
though, because I've been carrying a pen around with the name Henry
Teller on it. I got that from renting trade show equipment from the
PCT Group. Is that you by any chance?
Right On! I was passing out those pens when I worked for PCT. I
started Videology, Inc Oct. 1, 1994, when the Flyer was immanent and
PCT didn't have any plans to provide a demo unit or support it.
They're still doing shows (they were at NAB providing equipment to
Play) and traveling all around the country. Who were you working
with at PCT? We may have talked back then, also.
I got the pen from you. You and I did business at Comdex in Nov. 1993
while I was doing marketing and arranging trade shows for Fast
Electronic. If I recall, I rented a few computer monitors from you
for the show though PCT was just getting into NTSC monitors and other
video products. I can personally attest to your claim that "service
is your product." You were good to work with and I had thought it to
be the beginning of a good business relationship. But as turned out,
Fast moved westward and I did not.
Your pen has an 800 number on it though I believe you were in Conneticut.
Still true? I'm still up here in Massachusetts. I get the impression that you
now rep some of these products, true?
After carrying your pen around for a year and a half, it's good to renew the
acquantance.

Jeff:
The 800 number is still good for PCT.
I was at PCT initially to help them decipher computer video versus
NTSC video. And also help them output computer to NTSC video, with
the coming of the desktop video work stations.
PCT was permitting me to provide sales and support for Newtek's Video
Toaster, but when the Flyer was announced, and Commodore declared
bankruptcy, they cooled and had no plans to pursue the Flyer.
Videology, Inc has been dealing exclusively with the Toaster/Flyer up
til now, but will continue in the PC vein, at least as far as the PC
Toaster will go. We offer all the Newtek products, with our usual
support, and all the Amiga peripherals required to make the Toaster
work well.
I saw some great Windows NT editing systems at NAB, and may add at
least one to our line soon.
