Videos degrade a lot when going from generation to generation.
If you copy a video, then copy the copy, after 3 or 4 generations
it looks really terrible.  It's a lot worse than audio tapes.
So a kind person could get the tapes and then make lots of first
generation copies for people on the list, and that would be great.
But tree thing wouldn't work so well because of generation
degeneration :-)

That could work well if there were a new person interested in doing
a bunch of trades, who didn't have many tapes.  They could get the
video, make a bunch of copies, and then trade each copy for somthing
they don't have.  It would be a way for a new person to build a big
collection of other Patti tapes quickly.  Anyone out there interested?
