The 12 Cards of Christmas, Bonus Day! In 1974 my favorite animated film was UPA's "Gay Purr-ee", a musical with Judy Garland, Robert Goulet, Hermione Gingold, Red Buttons & Paul Frees. The characters are on a clear cell. the background is a paining. I made up the orange kitten for Robespierre.

I remembered I had an old photo of the Lantana Sable T-shirt from a CES we exhibited at. The sable character was designed by Ken Sample and was the company mascot. The sable system was a 3 or 4 piece modular speaker system with tad monitors and 1 or 2 LAug bass extender units.

The 12 Cards of Christmas, Day 1. In the 70's I made Christmas cards by taking photos of art and sending the prints as postcards. the first was just a wildlife winter scene from a magazine ad, but later I started making my own art. This is Theta with my Qysonic Research speakers in 1977.

My first computer was a Pied Piper CPM machine with a built-in HD 5 1/4 floopy drive. I used a green monochrome monitor. I got it for writing. Came with Perfect Office suite, but a friend gave me Wordstar 3, which I downloaded over a 6400baud modem in 6 hours.
