Curt Vendel Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 This was rather interesting... I'm going through my FCC archives for a lawfirm involved in a tehnology litigation case, and while going through I decided to straighten out some of the filings into subfolders, tucked in the back what do I find: Preliminary Draft Owner's manual for Model No. 240 - M O O D The Audio-Video Color Kaleidoscope for Home Television Owners' Manual Model No. C-240 Atari, Inc. Consumer Division 1195 Borregas Avenue Sunnyvale, Calif. 94086 408/734-5600 So, the project codename and original production name for Video Music was MOOD I will try to scan the original manual in and post onto atarimuseum.com Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Heh, I wonder if it was a pun on MOOG? Or maybe they called the patterns it generates "MOOD rings". /rimshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
