[BC] Another automation quesiton

[Bill Sepmeier]

Tim Valley actually invented PC automation, IIIRC, with his DOS-based Audisk.

The "AirForce" was developed as a second or third generation 
replacement for Audisk while he was working with Marty Hijmans, who 
developed the first operational localized satellite automation 
network with Audisk and ComStream gear for Cliff Gardiner and KZYR 
here in Avon, Colorado.  That network was purchased some years ago 
and now owned and operated by Waitt Radio.

I think that Crown also had an "AirForce" automation product back in 
the early 90's ... though I don't know how well it was 
deployed.  Used to see it in the NAB North Hall at NAB...
