In 1980, Far-More Computing was started with 2 Radio Shack Color
Computers doing matrix to vector conversions. This bore fruit in the
rvf format (rasterized vector). There were also database and office
applicastions which resulted in the first mail merge program.
In1980, the need for a larger mail merge Program, guided me to
Montreal where I developed a hard disk drive for this computer. I
then became VP of R&D for the company During the 2 years
at Micro RGS, we produced 1 relevant device a week When I had the
resource I needed I left to persue. I wrote this, then.
To See ones future, pass him by,
as in a trance possessed.
Left him high like eagles fly,
his mind the stars carressed
No compass chart or grid.
...He strode into oblivion,
With but the light inside him.
I then returned to Calgary where I ran 3 computers for 2 years and
then moved on the Comodor Amiga. The prime focus was visual
recognition systems. We had 320x200 working on the Co-Co as it was
affectionatly called. Rasterized Vector systems have become the main
stay for many recognition systems. Currently Far-More is working on
vector recognition systems contained in move and tv material. We
want to add rvf (rasterized vectors) to the divx format for computer
controlled surgeries. This search has given me this huge library of
.avi files. This system just proves the idea works. We'll get
better. Yup....were teaching computers how to understand what it
see's.
Our full history spans libraries. We now hold credit for over 30,000
products. Some were even good. We'll leave history to the
historians. What we need to know is how we can help YOU make
history.
