When I was a kid, we couldn't afford a color TV

I didn't know anyone that had one

I remember watching shows like Outer Limits, Wild Wild West, Andy Griffith, Star Trek, Lost in Space.

There was this one I think called Time Tunnel or something like that where people could travel through time

As a kid, I though you could do that

As a kid, I thought people were lost in space

Dad, will they ever get back?

Son, they are already back

Wow, good to hear...

Can we get a robot?

On the B&W, there were some knobs to adjust it

One of them controlled the frame per second

Maybe that is what you call it

If you didn't have it right, the image will go up and off the screen followed by the next one

As if you were flipping through pictures on your phone

My parents would watch Outer Limits

Surprised they didn't send me to bed

"There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the outer limits"

dad? dad? DADDDD!

They are doing it again

They are messing with our TV!

It's OK son

It's not OK Dad

TV is a way influencing public opinion

And there will come a day in your lifetime Dad

That everything around you will try to influence you

If we don't stand up for what we believe in

Who will Dad?

Time for bed Son...

What you say here Mike and others will change the outcome

It will control the horizontal and the vertical

All I can do is suggest investors be more interactive with their own investment

Non investors certainly are with your investment

Was thinking this morning, that would be a cool VERB video

"There is nothing wrong with your video

Do not attempt to sit still

We are making it interactive

We will control the tags

We control the pulsing circles

If you choose to download a document, touch your screen now

If you are looking for a dry cleaner, touch your screen now

If you choose to buy some clean pants, touch the screen now....

BTW, where is that PR the pumper promised...

He said to trust him...
