is the treat of seeing old material again after many years.  So, I 
decided to give YouTube a try myself and have just posted my first 
video, a weather segment from NBC's today show.  You'll probably be 
amused by the graphics and the appearance of folks from almost 30 years 
ago.  Playback was on one of my Ampex machines of course!

Since it's my first attempt at this, any comments as to quality or ways 
to improve the video would be appreciated.  It definitely loses 
something on YouTube, but maybe that's the nature of the beast.

	Amazingly good picture, Don.  It looks clean enough to have been shot 
today.  I could not see any velocity error, the usual telltale sign of 
quad video.  Many of the quad VTR's I worked with were not equipped 
with VelComp so I learned pretty quickly how to spot velocity error.
	 And the tape was so clean, I saw no dropouts either.  Your DOComp 
must be in good shape too.  Nice work.
