I just had an idea, what if we pressed all the tapes on CD's, as in 
volume they are cheaper, then Mr Ting would have something more to 
sell at say $5-10 pluss shipping.  If you get the right people to 
press them then it should be less than a doller a CD.  The only 
problem is finding a cheap setup to convert the system over to CD 
video or preferably the new Wavelet system that should get 3 to 4 
times more on a CD and can decompress in software.  Drivers could be 
included for IBM and Apple etc.  Is anybody out there experienced 
with this sort of thing?

Sorry to see the death of your almost live video image though the 
picture with you and the car in the background did seem to looses 
it's effect after a while ;)
