I recorded the FR segment of the channel 24 news show using my Matrox/PC-VCR cable connection. The file it produces is in .avi format. It's a big file, 132 mb for only a 3 minute segment. I uploaded it to FR, then downloaded (13 minute download on a high speed cable connection) and tried playing it. It worked fine after fooling around a bit with RealOne Player. Wouldn't work at all with Windows Media Player, I have no idea why. You can try downloading and playing it from here:

Thanks Jim! I taped it but wanted to get it to DVD. I can play with the file and see what happens. I'll let you know tomorrow.

The video clip didn't work for me. After a crash course in AVI video, I did some searching and found that I needed to install a video codec to get this clip to run. Others will probably need to install the codec as well.

As for this "news release", it looks to be a forgery. The graphic is fairly rough, as if it were a second-generation facsimile, while the accompanying text is relatively smooth. I'd bet money somebody ripped off the graphic from an earlier fax and typed up new text, then anonymously faxed it to at least this TV station.

Who'd wanna pull a stunt like that, huh?

(And, if true, what would that say for credibility of this TV news station?)

Jim:

I've been around since FR had only 8000 hits. From your wheelchair you have created a fascinating thing! Just regular people creating nice things. Of course we will disagree about one thing or another, and that's fine:) I would like to meet you someday. My schedule for the future looks bleak in terms of time to myself. I'm just your average little 'ol microwave engineer who is producing the best anti-ballistic missile defense system known to man. And the ramp-up will be good for our country. We are in good hands. You would be stunned if I could tell you what is going on in my field.

A good friendly hug, Jim
Bob

My phone line was out this weekend. I was really looking forward to hearing about the InfoNews liberal/anarchist disruption of the picnic, but I never expected to see THIS article!

So we are a Hate Group, now, huh? And the reporter comes to see this Hate Group in action? The description of those events are priceless. My goodness. What a group of skinhead leatherclad pierced bomb-handling haters you look like. LOL!
