Oh, yeah, I know David Oreck very well. He used to be "The RCA Colortrak Man" back in his
early entrepreneureal days in New Orleans. He just sold TVs then, when I was a kid. But
I also worked at what was probably the first shopping channel in the world back in the mid 80's,
in Harahan, and David Oreck was just starting to really get into the inventor/entrepreneur thing.
We used to tape shows with him all the time. I think he is no longer in NO, though.
I lost touch with him. Nice guy. After writing this, I went here:

and it turns out he wasn't jsut selling TVs back then, lol. Read through that and be amazed.
That job also intersected me with the man who invented the "Cajun Injector" I think I also was
present for the first ever infomercial. Shot out in the front parking lot of our shopping channel.
He deep fried a turkey, and was cooking all kinds of food. Good times. That job pioneered alot of
things in what we now know as the very worst of TV.
