The moral being, I suppose, "always tape it when it's on."  I've
always tried to live my pack-rat life that way -- going all the
way back to 1978 or so, when I was a (very young) guest on the noon
news on one of the local stations.

It took 19 years until I actually worked somewhere where I have
regular access to a 3/4" VTR to watch the tape they gave me that
day.

No, I haven't done so yet...there are some things I'm not sure I
want to see that badly.

And no, dubs of this one AREN'T available :-)
