During my sojourn to Tulsa, OK the other day for our company, I
happen to recall seeing a request on the net for who makes Emerson
VCR's.  Since I was in a video store and visiting with a sales type,
I asked. 

ZOT!! The local guru pulls out the table listed below.  I was so
so suprised that I asked if I could get a copy and shur 'nuff,
Cheerful Charlie had a copy machine and obligingly made several
copies.  Astounding!  It's hard to find people these days selling
relatively high tech stuff with actual product awareness and a
willingness to help.
