Thanks for the replies. I thought about starting to make my own youtube video's, maybe even a blog, but old stuff is being destroyed everyday. Don't think I can do any better than what's already out there. Yes Ed.A it is easy to get lost in youtube. Thanks for linking the other video. Camera/video recorders on cell phones are great. See something cool, take a instant picture/video. Matt
