        Well, the two main reasons why I don't think complete rituals should 
be on playback is A) It might create "couch potatoe thelemites" who just like 
to watch the rituals...and the essence of the whole thing is *DOING*! B) The 
amount of space it takes to store video...I have 7 gig of disk space on my 
machine...and maybe 300meg free...no video dupes. That's for one complete 
application, and about a half dozen in various stages of completeness. DVI 
video runs at about 10 meg per minute, with 30 fps & 44.1MHz stereo sound.

        Well, this is a potential project in about 6 months time...many things 
can change/be aquired by then...like the fact that I hope to have a Video 
Digital Editing suite set up at home...and be on Internet via an ISDN line.

Easy - for the same reason that drive-up ATM machines have instructions in
braille.
