This is a collection of various video and audio files that are in three categories:
- Videos from various sources, such as a company. These videos present a vision of the future. Or they might be an industry conference video.
- Personal conference videos; these are videos of Howard Finberg’s presentations or talks.
- Audio files; mostly these are Howard Finberg’s presentations or speeches.
I hope you find these bits of history interesting.

However, it was ready for those who dreamed of a different future for communication and information distribution. I used the Newton as an example in many of my teaching. Here’s a video from 1994 that you might be interesting.
