Nothing tape-delayed about her excitement!
Friends,
On this day in 1956, Ampex demonstrated the first videotape recorder at the NAB show in Chicago (what? not in Vegas? -ed Las Vegas hadn’t been invented yet.). Immediately following this development, people on the west coast started losing a lot of sleep. Soon after that, Apple released the iPad so people could watch movies and television shows anywhere. (um, there were some important developments in between those two inventions, weren’t there? -ed I think so, but mostly pet rocks and fuel injection. It’s all a blur.)

P.S. Yes, I know the picture isn’t of a VXR-1000. I only found one good one and I didn’t think it’d scale very easily.
