The webmaster is attempting to prepare a book of these stories. Be sure to read the fine print as to copyrights and stuff. It's all there on the home page.

History of Color Television


Up to 1954 television was broadcast exclusively in black and white. Even though color television was introduced in the mid 1950s, these televisions were far too expensive for the average viewer. Color television didn't become a mainstay until well into the 1960s. At the Color Television Revolution you can find a history of early color television, various color network logos like the early NBC peacock, and even a Color Television Tape Recorder.

Share Your Travel Photos with the World


I have several friends that have recently taken trips and then created a web page with some of their commentary and photos. They have the skill to create their own web page and lay it out the way they want. For everyone else there's TravelPod. It allows you to create your very own travel website. You can share your comments and photos with friends and family even while you're still traveling.
