We can handle 6 hours of recording I think .. MC last night was Alan.. his 
first time at it..He did a reasonable job, but he was also behind the 
camera as well.

I am definitely hesitant.  I actually raised my hand to cut off the 
questions at the end.

Again.. I reiterate, we need volunteers who are comfortable piping up :) 
Jim move on back here. :)
