[ih] Internet Talk Radio

[Jack Haverty]

Wow, Thanks Carl!   Just out of curiousity, I found the "Interop Movie" 
that was filmed at Interop in San Francisco in 1992, but I guess was 
shown later at Interop France.  I had never seen that movie until just 
now, and was surprised to find that I'm in it!

That was the year that Oracle took the MazeWars game to Interop and it 
seems at some point someone stuck a video camera in my face to hear 
about what we were doing at Oracle.   I don't remember that, and didn't 
even recognize myself at first -- until my name appeared on the screen.  
The memories of that show are a bit fuzzy.  But I seemed to be fairly 
articulate, even after spending my first and only 96-hour period with no 
sleep, working before the show opened on getting everything to work 
(along with a bunch of other sleep-deprived Oracle engineers).

A true historical resource at archive.org!
