I would like to subscribe to your CED Newsletter.  I'm relatively new to CED
collecting (and computers as well).  How can I get your CED database to
download to a 3 1/2" disk?  AOL won't seem to let me do it.  Also, I'd be
interested in downloading the archived issues of the newsletter.  Anyway, sign
me up.  I find this whole field fascinating, have about 300 titles myself and
about 50 duplicates for trade.

Many thanks.

Chris Helopoulos

Subject: OJ Promoting CED

Hello All:

There was a piece on the TV news last night about OJ Simpson getting back
into TV advertising with an 800 lawyer referral number. It showed some of
his old ads and one of them was a couple seconds of an RCA commercial where
he's hawking the SFT100 player. I set the VCR to record a later rebroadcast,
and put a still image from it at CED Magic:

It's not really that surprising that RCA used him as a promoter back then,
as RCA owned Hertz from 1967 to 1985, and this was during the period Simpson
was doing his "running through the airport" Hertz ads.
