====================
History of the Group
====================
In December of 1993, from the heart of Baltimore, the AVA
was born. After gathering local users from around Maryland, a fair amount
of work was completed, and the AVA officially went public. The Audio Video
Assembly was founded by Jack Morgan III as a medium to share the
A(udio)/V(ideo) creations to the public. Since its formation, the AVA has
grown in leaps and bounds by recruiting some of the state's best ANSi
artists, MOD composers, and VGA graphic artists. Input and response from
the individual members of the AVA has been absolutely overwhelming. As a
result, the AVA can now claim the largest release collection for any group
of its type in Maryland. As of FAQ 3.0, the AVA's work can be found over
from over 30 sites and support boards in six states. The AVA has just
recently entered into the realm of programming VGA loaders and related items.
In August of 1994, the AVA went national and immediatly gathered
interest from people around the nation, obtaining a west coast dist. site
in California and a southern dist. site in Florida. Beginning this past
October, MI-CAD was organized as a "Trainee" group for the AVA. Headed by
Spooner, Stinger and Kubiak, this group is for anyone with the interest of
becoming a computer artist, or for beginners who wish to improve their
skills. The AVA selects the MI-CAD member's best works and include them with
the AVA packs. The AVA is the -only- national group in the United States
with a team of individuals helping those who are trying to get into the
group. No pressure, no attitudes, no deadlines, just 100% positive
re-enforcement.
