to the folks at evl...awesome job you guys did. some younger people here have no perspective and are forgetting that this was around 1977. I was born that year so I have witnessed first-hand the evolution of video graphics from the early 80's through the flashy 90's to now. and I am very impressed with what you guys were able to do in an era preceding even mine. "most impressive."

Thank You - but we cannot take all the credit. The artist was Larry Cuba, who stayed at our facility and used our equipment for many months in order to create the sequence. You can search him on the internet and on Youtube for more examples of his work.
