Hello Alan - 

AZ>> The entire show is a 92 MB MP4 file, but it's available as
AZ>> audio only (in a number of formats), or as a text
AZ>> transcript, or as video segments: 'The Juicy Bit' and 'The
AZ>> Nerdy Bit'. 

CA>> Yes, the MP3 file (audio) is 11.8 meg. 

AZ>> Andy Hertzfeld, the guy you're referring to, ... he played
AZ>> a major role in the initial Mac development, ... After
AZ>> leaving Apple, he was a founder of General Magic, and
AZ>> Radius. 

CA>> Yes, that and more is mentioned during his interview. 

AZ>> he's written a book on the creation of the Mac, ... 

CA>> Also mentioned during the interview. 

AZ>> Either way, he tells a good story. 

CA>> I get the impression this really lit a fire under you? 

AZ> I was downloading the video file when I wrote the reply...
AZ> and still haven't had a chance to actually watch it, 

I was forewarned that the video is just 'talking heads' with
nothing to see. I downloaded the MP3 file and listened to that
instead. 

AZ> but I enjoyed his book. (I'm far more likely to read than
AZ> to watch or listen). 

I would guess that there is a 'teacher discount' at the
bookstores? I went out to buy 'the Camel Book' and 'the White
Book' and when I saw the prices for just the paperback editions
I changed my mind. I've only read technical books for the past
20 years or more but lately I don't even read those. I read the
newspaper for lack of anything better to do while having
breakfast and then I read what is considered 'news' on the
internet. 

AZ> Thanks for the link. 

You're most welcome. :-) 

I have another link for you to some videos that reminded me of
the music your school was recording and offering on the
internet some time ago. The movie "Mad Hot Ballroom" is about
NYC schools teaching ballroom dancing to some very young
children. There are 'trailers' and 'clips' on the page. The
very last clip "Wilson/Elsamelys Competing the Rumba" is just
hard to not watch many many times. The webpage and the videos
are ALL done using Shock Wave Flash but that's not a problem
for me here, hope it's not a problem for you. 

Go to: 

http://www.paramountclassics.com/madhot/ 

Turn off the music for the webpage by clicking on the speaker
icon at the upper right hand corner and select: 

"Wilson/Elsamelys Competing the Rumba" (last choice on the list) 

Priceless.
