                        Audio Conference Spotlight 
                               by Dave Calmer

  This is a new feature in the In-Basket beginning this month. We will be
  taking various conferences each month and giving a little more in depth
  information about them so that you can have a better understanding of
  what all is available on the network. The reason for this is simple, if
  you don't know it is available there isn't much chance of the conference
  getting used, if a conference doesn't get used it won't be with us very
  long. This month I've chosen a single conference to spotlight only because
  it is one I'm very familiar with, the new AUDIO-VIDEO conference.

  The AUDIO-VIDEO conference was added at the beginning of January and is
  here for us to discuss just about anything related to audio and/or video.
  The conference is moderated by yours truly (DAVE CALMER) who has many
  years of experience in the field of consumer audio and video. The area is
  intended for discussions of anything related to the field including equip-
  ment, acoustics, speaker placement, surround sound, home theater, car
  audio (I don't recommend car video though <g>) or anything else even
  remotely related to the field. There are some things that will be totally
  off limits though such as video/audio tape selling and/or trading, any
  form of bashing or equipment sales.

  I would like to remind any and all potential users of the conference of
  the golden rule I have always lived by as far as audio is concerned. All
  of the sales hype and spec sheets in the world aren't what audio or video
  reproduction is about, the ONLY true test of ANY equipment is what sounds
  or looks right to the person using that equipment. It doesn't matter if
  you have $25,000 or $250 invested in your system, if it sounds good to YOU
  that is all that is important in the long run. If we can all keep this in
  mind we'll get along together fine in the conference.
