Wow. I don't think Bill has posted here for almost ten years now. He
still pops up now and then but I don't think I have even seen him on
the Ampex list for a long time.

bilver.oau.org doesn't seem to resolve any more, but I know that was valid
as late as 1997. oau.org isn't even valid any more, it appears. You might
try www.switchboard.com and see if there is still a telephone number for
him in Winter Park, FL.

Man, that is a name from the past. He left pretty much when all of the
bozos started piling on the internet in the mid-nineties and the Eternal
September began.

Dan Kennedy knew someone from Sphere. You might ask him.
