[nabs-l] Recording NABS meeting

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi all,
Both would be neat.  Most of us can't benefit from the video.  But sighted 
members of the organization and members of the public will and may be more 
inclined to view the presentation with something to see.

I had no idea that software was available to
extract the audio from the video.  That is really cool.
