During the beginning of the year, REC is continuing to make recordings. However during this time, REC is working with Dave Reseda on a new interactive system. We wanted to bring a "touch tone activated conference" similar to the old Oakland City Conference to Southern California. Work started on the prototype system. The project was shelved for something better. There were these cards that were very expensive that can connect to an IBM compatible computer and each card can hook up to four phone lines. A separate card allowed for conferencing up to two of those cards. Someone was willing to supply us with those cards. So, REC went ahead and purchased it's first PC Compatible. An IBM XT Clone with 4MB of RAM, MS-DOS and a 20MB hard drive. The system, called the "REC Conference Voice Mail and Information Access Service" identified each caller with a 3 digit user number. Callers would be able to leave private messages to each other, be able to put outgoing messages on "IAS" boxes and use the conference to talk to each other. "Generation 1" as we call it now was very archaic compared to what would come out in the future.
