1990 saw something that has been asked for the most on REC systems and finally we budged. The REC Generation 3 system came up with public message capability. The system, known publically as "The Public Side" was the most successful system so far. The computer was upgraded to a 286 and a second 20MB hard drive was added on. The main reason why we have been resistant to running a public message system was because of the impact it could have on REC recordings. For a period of time, REC recordings and the Public Side ran in parallel. After 199 recordings, REC discontinues commentline operations in the San Fernando Valley. The REC Public Side was here to stay.
