The reason I didn't tape it that day. Kinda hard to think when something like that is going on.

zombie84--

Why would that be considered weird? Look at what I'm doing...and you say you have a tape that covers 3:30-6:30...what timezone are you going by? The recording I have covers from about 8:45 to almost 2 o'clock EST (5:45 - 11AM PST). If you're talking EST, that would be cool, as that extend the coverage of that day, without leaving too much of a hole between the two broadcasts (about 1 1/2 hours, 2-3:30 PM). And if you mean PST or one of the timezones in between, that's still cool, as there was still a lot of info coming out that evening.

Any way you could transfer that to some sort of digital video, or if not, copy it and send it to me? I could pay for shipping. Let me know.


Its EST, luckily for you. Only thing is it jumps channels a few times--so theres some ABC and NBC in there i think, but IIRC its mostly CNN. Its also not continuous--the time period covers roughly 3:30-6:30 i believe but its only about 60-90 minutes of footage.

I was thinking about digitizing it myself so I'll probably do this in a few weeks. I'll send you a copy of it then. Unless you would prefer a VHS copy for you to do it yourself, but i would advise against this (the original copy is EP mode anyway).
