Hello everyone...<br><br>Just to make sure this will happen, and not knowing what has been discussed in regard of the tape (maybe I'm just raining over wet), would like to point out:<br><br>1) Make one or several copies of the tape (analog copies since it seems there are no digital facilities where the tape is now).<br>2) Ship copies of the tape, not the original.<br>3) No matter what format is the tape in (1/2 inch, 3/4, 1 inch, beta, vhs, or any other more exotic one), it should not be too complicated to digitaze it. >From mos formats (minus reel to reel 1/2 and 1 inch) I can do it in my home (still keep in working status my UMATIC, VHS and Beta players). If more exotic, several local facilities would be happy to help in. Of course, if the tape has problems (funghi, ruptures, etc.), then a more extensive job is necessary, probably not for free...<br>4) When the digital copy is ready, please submit (upload) it to archive.org, even if you still wish to use YouTube.<br><br>Finaly, keep us posted, we all want to promote this interview as soon as it becomes available on line.<br><br>Many thanks and best regards,<br>Peter Cernik<br>ISOC Venezuela<br>

Gerard,<br>George already responded that he has the copy, and he started talking to Joly of ISOC-New York about the digitalization. I think that it will be organized shortly; what they may need from you is to cover the expenses for the FedEx, as it is not wise to mail this by usual mail.<br>

<br>
It's great to see so much interest in getting this tape digitised.<br>
Unfortunately ISOC does not currently have a copy of the tape, so we<br>
are certainly keen to get a copy that we can link to from our main<br>
site as soon as possible.<br>
<br>
There seem to be quite a few offers of help coming in. I don't want to<br>
get in the way of any action that is happening already, but please let<br>
me know if there is any assistance we can give.<br>
<br>
Many thanks.<br>
<br>
- Gerard<br>
