[Blindtlk] Early convention tapes.

[David Evans]

Dear All,

It could also have something to do with the fact that the recordings were 
done on a reel-to-reel recording system and those machines are not around 
much anymore.  I don't know if they were ever converted to another format or 
not, but as it is a part of our history, we should try to preserve it in 
some form or another just because it is our history.

David Evans, NFBF and GD Jack.
