[NJARC] Re: Live streaming video of tonight's meeting

Dave,
    I was able to enjoy all of Al's talk without interruption.
The connection stayed up throughout. There were no freeze-ups. The video was 
clearer than the last time I watched this way. The sound
was intelligible with the volume turned up. Definitely not hifi
but you could understand what Al was saying.
   Overall it was an enjoyable, positive experience. Sal, at the
end I yelled 'Hi' back. Did you hear me?
   Thank you Dave for going through the extra work to provide this
to club members. Hope to see you guys at the clinic next week.
