Enventually there will be no image on the tape. This will probably happen while you are still alive. It will be a thrill the first few times to watch, but like wedding videos, soon you would rather watch paint dry or grass grow. Has anybody looked at videos they shot ten years ago? I bet there is lots of noise in the images. Regards, Robert At 04:53 PM 2/16/99 -0800, you wrote: >Mark Newport wrote: >> >> My daughter will, with any luck, give us our first grandchild tonight.
