Mamba meister Mania
or What I Do & Why I Say The Things I Do...

BBBBlack   MMMMamba !



Once upon a time in a Galaxy Far Far...   
Ok, not so far away... a bunch of friends  
said... you have to go on the web, you    
have so much energy, so much enthusiasm 
& you like to help your fellow man AND     
                   woman.

So at the point of a finger gun they showed 
me this new thing called the web and the 
internet gained one new member that  
dull windy cold Washington DC day in 
October 1991... so long long ago. 

See, they said I could talk till I was blue in 
the face, crisscross the great land of ours
and in the end after many years and many 
more miles never scratch the surface of 
really reaching that many people. Yeah,
could do a book, but nobody wants to read
any more & everyone that probably cares     
is on caffeine or nicotine & the InterNet.

SuperVideo was born with the hope that
my ideas, opinions, good luck, relations
with Japanese leading tech companies
would resonate and maybe make a difference 
to someone out there looking for
a sympathetic  ear or a shoulder to lean on
for additional information especially as it relates
to this new Digital Technology in
Audio, Video and in general Electronics.  

What I decided early on was to specifically
target Video Electronics. I had already lost
interest in my 17 year old photography hobby.     

I would post that which is new, coming down 
the pike, around the next electronic bend 
in Video recording.  I wanted Digital but the
only thing digital at the time in video was
                 special effects.  

The web site was soon received as welcome
breath of fresh air as everything in those days
was ads, companies and female genitilia !
I would put up every month what I heard from
friends and insiders in Tokyo as I was traveling
there that often. About three times a month.

It would not be too long that I began to have
quite a following and would also gain more
sources for input and soon the page became
the famous Rumor & Heard On The Street.

Over the years more than a dozen businesses
would grow from a product or even a service
I saw and brought back and described. Soon
many of them would split and become two
different types of businesses.

I say over and over and I posted in the very
first sentence on the original home page
                "I Do Not Sell a Thing."
When I direct e-mailers to find a place to
buy & receive these unique products many     
of which are not either here in America
yet or they are never coming to America,
I send them many times to some of these
very people that once were my e-mailers 
and decided to import or at least market 
these ideas and products that I mention.

In the case of a major product I try & direct    
them to  their nearest factory authorized  
national reseller. In the case of products NOT  
here we try and get these former e-mailers to 
pick up the slack and import these items.

That is just such the case with the Lake-In-
The-Hills and DeKalb MXSource for the MIA  
MX 3CCD semi-professional camcorders.
The Long Island based DVLaptop. Dynamism
Japan First Laptops on the Lake Michigan 
waterfront in Chicago, Ocean-Brite housings &
Sign-Video XLR adapters both in California.  
Electronics Boutique, Azden, Bose & Shure.
The Video gear Shop in Hot Springs Arkansas,
PorterCase Luggage company South Bend    

The list goes on... request an In Depth Monthly
DV Report and you will find a dozen more
companies that are famous Retailers of
National Brands of Video, Audio electronics. 

The reason I do all of this is the satisfaction of
knowing I have helped so many by not letting 
them repeat the mistakes of others. Give them
the information they need to make their own
                            decisions.

Let them know the Rest Of The Story.
There is a lot of work here and my reward...
has been... you.    You All Are Most Welcome !
