-      I was a support engineer for Sony Professional at the time we were selling these. A couple things - the "G" was the later model with the ability to genlock to incoming video and be used as a primitive character generator / graphics generator. There were actually a number of these used on the set of "V". We were excited to be part of the project until we saw the script that called for a computer with no brand recognition. Not exactly what the marketing people wanted to hear...\
-      We also used these (we were all given one) for corporate e-mail (remember Compuserve?).

-      "created few time earlier" is clearly written by someone who is not a native speaker of English. The normal way to say that would be "created a little earlier".
-
-      This site is full of "few time" mistakes just like that.
