I've seen AV change and grow, from the days of ticker tape running through slide projector controllers, through the advent of multi projector shows (who remembers Spindler and Sauppe?!) to a certain Bill Gates.. and through to today.. What a journey!! And I'm still as passionate about the industry as the 20 year old that started all those years ago.. Happy to talk to anyone about the 'good ol' days' as well as the fabulous and amazing NOW!!!
