This about page originally existed on the now-defunct Openvision.tv website that focused upon the ION product and the Cruxy.com website. We are continuing to present these pages with as much unaltered text as possible as a service to those who may have an interest in the products, the company, or its founders and employees.
We will keep these pages up in their current state until there ceases to be significant traffic concerned with the old Openvision.tv site. At that time, we will present an Online Casino USA site which will mainly focus upon online slots information.

If you would like more information on any of the products mentioned here, be sure to check out Mac’s blog (links from tinyworld.eu) or search for him on this site. There’s also some info on the ehow.com site – search for openvision.tv (one word).
Above & beyond that we also have a wealth of other information on the subject as well. It might take some sorting out to get everything back in order but we are working on it all of the time & we appreciate your patience. Once we have everything in place there will be no comparing with the amount of data we have placed all in one location for ease of access.
