What do I have in common with Prince Harry?

Actually almost nothing but that being said I do have an interesting story to tell that involves his name.

In 1982 the newspapers were looking for new horizons and we began an exploration of technology. We were among the first to use Modems..(modulator demodulator) devices that would allow people to call a number and press a button to vote in a poll.

Then from there we partnered with a wonderful artist named Gus Gosanko and tried to develop an actual TV Listings Channel with advertising and yes even a timer and a way to skip the ads just as you see now on YouTube. That potential service reached the point of a demo tape we built, based on what was called Telidon from Vancouver BC. It was a text and graphics system that scrolled information and we based our concept on it.

A Design Review Early Design Guidance meeting for a 6-story, 134-unit apartment building to be called The Holden Apartments with retail. Parking for 50 vehicles proposed.
