I am a stranger here myself

[Rinehart]

Hi,
I signed up last week and this is my first post--I am so thoroughly non-technical that it has taken me this long to figure out how to post anything.
I am researching a book on the early years of American television, roughly from 1936 to 1950, and while my interest is in programming, I have been reading as widely as I can about the technology, the business practices, and the government regulations of the time and how they shaped programming decisions. Videokarma was suggested to me as a place where I could talk to people who were knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
And so, "a little traveling music, maestro, and away we go."
