Lone Oak "Look & Listen" Library

(Others will be added as tapes become available and can be converted.)

The videos will play best on either a cable modem (384K) or ISDN (128K) connection or better. When played on a dialup connection (56K or lower), videos are extremely jerky and sound cuts out for long periods.

At Dave Carmichael's request, a (D) link is being added for the existing media files and will be so included in the future. This will allow anyone with a slow connection to download the file itself and play it back in Media Player at their convenience.

The sound quality for the "audio only" files is much better on a dialup connection because no attempt is made to transfer video. The bandwidth is devoted totally to the sound, which can therefore be converted to play at a much higher bandwidth - as a result, it sounds MUCH better. Enjoy . . . Dave E.

A Special Christmas Eve Message

December 24, 1968

This was broadcast 35 years ago on Christmas Eve by three travelers VERY far from home. Although the broadcast was a scheduled event, the content was a surprise - even the mission controllers were teary-eyed at its conclusion. The sound quality is not that great by today's standards but it still has an impact 35 years later. (photograph and audio clip courtesy of NASA) (Audio)
