CHANNEL 63 - UPGRADES

Hi All,
Today, the Channel 63 Committee; Ken, Ed and Dave Gathered in the Channel 63 room to complete the upgrades to the new Computer Graphics Creator and to install the new Player box. UCO VP Frank Cornish was there to provide support.

We were Online with Key west Technologies Tech. support, Don, who conducted a live Web Exercise (WEBEX) on two different computers simultaneously and working with him we have the new Player box Online with the new Computer Graphics which were painstakingly transcribed by Ed Black over hundreds of hours.

Soon we will start exercising some of the spiffy capabilities built into the upgraded hardware and software. For the time being, check out Ed's really neat Graphics now on Channel 63.

The bottom line; we have new capabilities and we saved thousands of dollars which would otherwise been spent on a house-call by a technician.

Congratulations, Ken and Ed, Channel 63 never looked this good. Your system of putting the meetings in the same time spot every hour is excellent. Now, may I make a suggestion? Be careful how you use red, either backgrounds or type; they are difficult, in most cases, to look at. Especially a red on red is almost nonreadable. Please don't take any of this as a minus. The job that's being done is very professional. Thumbs up!
