Hello everyone,
The videos are progressing. I felt that I had to respond to Steve's post.
I received the tapes later than I expected and had to put them off. I just
finished third year review (which for the non-academics in the audience, is
a massive waste of time where you tell everyone why you are so valuable to
the department). I should have some tapes ready to go to branches this
weekend. I apolagize for the delay, but its a good thing that I keep this
job. So...that came first. I am also trying to dub each one separately
rather than run them off so the quality should be higher than if I made one
and dubbed them all off of that. I have also added a short concert from
German TV that I received (after converting it from PAL), so believe me --
your patience will be rewarded.
Thanks.
-Art
