I just ordered a VHS this week http://www.amazon.com/New-Explorers-Bill-Kurtis-Galaxy/dp/B000CEMBRE/ Bill Kurtis hosted a PBS Series called “The New Explorers” In an episode from 1995 titled “In a Galaxy Far, Far, Away” Bill Kurtis discusses how ILM special effects techniques were used to create medical spin-off applications. It’s really interesting. Do you know if this program been digitized by the OT community?

Hi,

I just got the tape in the mail. It's a brand new video, so it should make an excellent digital transfer. I am un able to make a VHS capture to digital, so if anyone is interested I'd be glad to mail it out for the transfer.

Here are links to pictures of the video
