  In the back, at left, this was the Iran pavillion.

  it was a 360 degree cinema in there. You could see in every direction. They had to cut out a shot of a tobbagan going down the slide in Quebec City because people in the theatre were getting sick it was so real. And this was way before IMAX.

During expo you had to wait at least 4 hours to get in.

  Il me semble qu'il y avait un genre de cinéma 360 degrés à La Ronde... C'était pas un vestige de l'Expo d'ailleur?

  Ça a été installé après l'Expo en fait mais je pense que ça utilisait le projecteur qui était en fonction dans le pavillon du téléphone de l'Expo. Je vais vérifier...

  To my opinion, something new can't be famous?

  Households did not have any call display or answering machines back then, just straight phone calls -- Cable tv was relatively new. If you got "the Cable" in Montreal you would get a little switch for the back of the tv- cable on and regular and cable meant you got the 3 American networks!

  What I meant to say was that we were on the edge of a new era in technology then, though most of the new stuff to come out in the next 20 years is all bulky and useless and comical today.
