>>   Ed, you are right on.  I think there are tons of small seemingly

>>   I too monitor RCU and in basic help questions I try to respond but I am

>>   As for what I can do, I wouldn't mind being the accumulator of info.
>>   Someone sent me an email and the question was asked... is this for
>>   technical help or to recruit.  I would like to see the video as a

>>   How many hobby shops do you see with vcrs and dvd players now?
>>
>>   I think we should give this a try.  If you have any inflight video that
