Tried to post link to historical Woz video
-
Greetings from a long-time lurker. A few months ago I tried posting a link to a video I thought this community would enjoy. It's a short interview with Steve Wozniak recorded 40 years ago when the Apple II was near its peak of popularity. I wrote a brief description and history, and included a link to the clip in my personal Vimeo account. My message was immediately "flagged as potential spam." Although it was "awaiting moderation" it never surfaced. I tried twice. IAC, I'd like to try again to send the link. I was told that Woz himself saw the clip a couple of days ago and that it cheered him up following his stroke in Mexico last week. Can anyone tell me if I somehow violated some CP code of conduct? Should I give it another shot? Thanks- -David

Please try it again, David, on this thread here. If I spot when you do it, I'll let it through. If something bad happens, please email me (sean@codeproject.com) and I'll post it on the thread
Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

I think I remember seeing the post in moderation. Unsure what I did with it. Often I leave things like that for others to judge.

As your "official" contributions are low, your link probably got caught by the spam filters, and depending on the content of the message the human moderator didn't approve it. If you post it again, do not post "just" the link. Write some text describing the content and a sentence referring to this thread. Then the one that find your new message in the moderation queue will most probable let it through
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

As I recall there was a brief statement to that effect, so I could tell that it was at least on-topic.

Thanks for the feedback, Folks. Sean asked me to reply on this thread so here's the link and a little more info about the clip: Back in 1983, when the IBM PC was relatively new and the Mac had not yet been introduced, I was involved with a users group in New York called NYPC. In conjunction with the local Apple group, we produced an all-day event with microcomputer-related seminars, exhibits, and vendors. We also had guest speakers including Steve Wozniak of Apple and Bob Frankston of VisiCalc fame. I produced a video "covering" the event which was shown on public access cable TV. It was seen by probably no more than 4 people. The show included interviews with Wozniak and Frankston. Here's a 5-minute clip of the Wozniak interview. It's preceded by a brief chat between Woz and Frankston on the merits of the BASIC programming language. I hope you enjoy this little trip down memory lane: https://vimeo.com/788473906/f9281f58a4?share=copy

Correct, I'm pretty sure I left it for others to decide. If it was never approved, then others may have banished it.
