the purple banana
have any of you heard the story of how someone painted the banana used in one of the still life models for color tv purple? I bet some of those engineers were pulling their hair out!

Just go to the members Gallery, TV section, and go to "upload photos", there will be a menu there that will allow you to upload photos directly from a directory on your computer up to the Audiokarma server.

Color wars
I believe the "blue banana" prank occured during the 1949/50 RCA/CBS/ FCC color tv demos. RCA head David Sarnoff had put extreme deadline pressure on his engineers to complete the tri-color shadow mask picture tube. This was to be the heart of RCA's compatible color system, in competition with CBS's field sequential (color wheel) system. Seems a couple of the RCA techs decided to blow off steam by painting a banana blue and placing it in the middle of a basket of fruit. Red apples, green grapes, some oranges and the blue banana. The joke backfired and Sarnoff, needless to say, was not amused.

Belive it or not, but I don't see where that "upload photo" is.

Once you're in Horiz Hold you have to log in again, top upper right. When you're logged in then you'll see the upload photos button.

Once your logged in it kicks you back to the main gallery page, you have to go back in Horiz Hold (or wherever you want) and the upload link will be there.
Actually I guess you can log in from the main gallery page and then go to Horiz Hold but I already made the pictures showing it the other way around Not sure why it works this way but it does. Last edited by Eric H; 04-09-2005 at 12:16 PM. |

The first couple times after the photo pages came back up I had to log in but now it is automatic so maybe whatever cookie or whatever there is must have taken hold.

I uploaded files over 200 k to the image gallery a few weeks ago...there is no file size limit there so far as I know...the only place where there is a limit is when a photo is included in a message thread. You might try uploading the banana to the Horizontal Hold section of the photo gallery again.

OK, Here's the photo that reeferman sent me, resized to fit in the board. I also cropped out the slide on the screen and saved it as it's own image. It's kinda washed out, but there wasn't a lot I could do to clean it up. I guess it's hard to take a photo of a projector screen.
