[vcf-midatlantic] Vote for VCF's new bumper video - The Final Version is Here

[Herbert Johnson]

You asked for opinions, got several. Here's mine.  Several people of and 
around my era of now-vintage computing, don't like *any* music and many 
otherwise don't like noisy-sounds (but keyboard sounds are mostly not 
objectionable). That's my view also.

The point (so I'm told) of the video, is the VCF brand. Not the history 
of Bell Labs or voice synth or sounds made by an Atari something. 
Keyclicks, those are so broad in history and so common, they draw 
attention and then are background. If you are gonna have a movie, and 
have sound, keyclicks do enough work not too much and not a 
thing-themselves.

For those who crafted all this stuff, my apologies if they are 
disappointed in my responses. This is a five-second event, shall I write 
a thesis about it? It's *exactly* impressions, you have mine and what I 
can make of them.

But thanks for the Daisy / Bell Labs callback. I did some homework on 
the subject, it's surprisingly important. And it's commentary on modern 
vs. historic responses to almost-human computer behavior. I got informed 
- but, I was distracted from the VCF brand accordingly. That's not your 
goal, right?

Regards Herb
