 Well I better upgrade windows media player --- sigh.

I think the MP4 files play on my system in QuickTime, which I got 
either from Apple's web site or with my iPod.

...
   Now, back to
my original question....
 Are there any particular things that people would like me to video? 
Playing the the TTY version ... Boy the fans on the PDP-11 is
loud, one can hardly hear the TTY. What hardware is running? 
All that background noise is from:

* the small fans (5 ot 6?) in the 11/40 chassis
* the big fans in the top of the H960 racks
* the blowers in the THREE RK05 drives
* some minor sound from the two RL02s and the RL01
* some minor humming from the two DecWriters

...
 Thanks for the downloads ...
  Only another 24 meg to for the windows media upgrade...
I remember when you could install Windows/95 from floppy. 
Yeah I remember that too.  And I remember when you could 
install all of RSTS onto a 2.5mb RK05 pack.... and support
16 users on the system....  well, we did have a second RK05
drive for some overflow.  :-)
