Don worked as a designer for Conrac or Phillips IIRC and new video inside and 
out. I don't know where "misguided" comes from. It worked and did what he 
wanted. What else can you ask from a project?

I have a couple of signed copies. Any offers? (He used to stay with me in 
Palo Alto during WCCF until they quit paying him to come and  to speak as the
