What
happened to Betainfoguide.com??? Also, the geocities.com mirror site is also down, so all the links to geocities are now dead. So again, please bookmark THIS page to keep current!
Our next claim to fame.... I am mentioned quite
frequently - with photos - in the new book, "From Betamax to
Blockbuster," released in May 2008, by Joshua M. Greenberg, and
published by MIT Press. It's a comprehensive look at the early days of
video collecting and how the whole home video marketplace emerged, evolved,
and changed over the years. Interesting reading - pick up a copy! About
$16. |
