		I step up:

	A group of us at Reeves/Teletape borrowed one and tested it out on  
First Ave in New York one morning.  This was our first experience with  
a component tape format and the camcorder was quite amazing.  But it  
was so long ago, I cannot recall many details.  I can remember that we  
acted like fools in front of the U.N.  If it had happened post-9/11,  
we probably would have been arrested.
