		I say:

	Thanks you, Ted.  It's resources like these that are worth saving.

		I offer:

	"The Quaddie Award" for excellence in preserving the vanishing art of 
2-inch quadruplex videotape recording and reproduction.  The award 
should be a golden statue of a female figure (think 'goddess') holding 
a headwheel above her head, as if she is honoring that which it 
represents (four spinning heads).  She is standing on a reel of quad 
tape.  Hopefully, it won't resemble an Emmy too much.    ;)
