Thanks Michael, for being our guest and for giving COW members an inside look into the early days of the digital revolution. We appreciate you taking the time to join us and to share your experiences and insights.
Also, Kathlyn and I appreciated the copies of "The Little Digital Video Book" that you sent. We gave one of the copies to a young man in high school who has been wanting to get into this field and he was enthralled to get the book and said that it was perfect to teach him the fundamentals that he needed to know. It is a great book and I have referred a few people to it already when they ask: "Where can I learn the basics of this craft?" Now, I point them to your book.
Thanks again, Michael.
Best regards,
