[Xmca-l] Re: some videos for a general audience

[Andy Blunden]

Totally wonderful questions, Anthony, questions which 
beautifully illustrate the creativity of collaboration!

I will record them on my webcam and edit them and send them 
to you, rather than doing it by Skype. Allow me a couple of 
weeks though. The first requires a thought-out concise 
answer, and the other 2 require a lot of thought.

Thank you!

Andy
