3D HD TV

Re: MR ANGRY and the CLUB WEBSITES

WEB SITES? :shock: Well many of those that I bother to visit I confess I find interesting. However I do not spend inordinate time perched in front of a PC viewing them - as many seem to do. My view is that a club web site is perhaps a method of bringing in new members and as far as I can find out th...

Re: Home Movie Roadshow, Sunday BBC2

Re: Future Structure of the IAC Website

Hi Dave and Alls, IAC WEB SITE? I wonder just how many, if any, Uni's / Colleges / Schools, media departments are aware of it? More, I wonder just how many are aware of The IAC even? :) I Googled in "Video Film Making Amateur" and up came pages of this and that with the IAC at the top of p...
