Re: Jerry Nims and Paula Corbin Jones

[P3D <norml@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At the time the Nimslo was only a stream of press releases, it was largely
Nims' history as a Fallwell fundraiser that caused portions of the
photography press to speculate that the Nimslo was all smoke and mirrors
and that a real product was an unlikely prospect. Some suggested that the
Nimslo was a stock promotion scam.

As I have pointed out before there is some fascinating coporate history here--
the latest chapter being the departure of Allen Lo from Image Tech. I hope
somebody
will be motivated to do the research and writing before the trail is too cold.

(Last time I mentioned this, someone suggested that it should be my
project--sorry,
no academic credentials and no time.)
