I still havn't sent on my pictures or video. If it wern't for the video,
I'd look into a form of electronic delivery, but the video will add way too
much bandwidth for that. I'll try to get them done on time, but I won't get
to it until next Wednesday at the earliest.

Hey Tom, if you're still collecting video, send me an address and I send a
copy to you as well. After weeding out most of the non Dakota stuff I
managed to fit it onto a DVD. Can both of you support DVD-R? If not, I'll
need to hunt for another disk type.

We're also working on the old style print album and we've got a more than
atttractive quantity of white space remaining. I'd like to get some of the
other pictures as well. I was digging and found the link to the ones Korey
took. Is there a way to get a better quality copy of some of those? There
are some nice shots that have my truck in them and a few other things I
missed taking pictures of myself as well.
