It was Doug Burks who did the tape exchange project. I met all three of them (even in person) through ecto. Still kind of in touch with Steve and Lisa, but haven't heard from Doug in years though we saw of lot of him for a few years. I don't even know if he still lives here in Seattle! - --Neile > On Apr 21, 2024, at 3:16 AM, Ken D wrote: > > Is Steve the Ectonian who ran the tape exchange project?I still have all > the samplers, HBPs and HGPs even though I don't play them on the ancient > boom box we still have. > -Ken > On Apr 21, 2024 4:11 AM, Karen Hester wrote: > > Steve, 65, and Lisa, 67, met in the mid-90s on an early online > messaging > system while on opposite sides of the Atlantic.
