Please forgive all the cross-posting on this, but the good news
needs to get out to so many people on so many different lists.
I have been literally deluged on two different lists and in lots of
private emails to send the magnificent CAH "Jimmy Scene" video
(2 mins. 47 secs) (5 MB) via zipped email attachments. I have
done it 8 times and failed 6 times--after a 76-minute "Send" time
EACH time via my pokey Dial-Up Modem at 50-53.3 bps. The
failures were due to the Receivers' mailboxes not being able to
accept such a large mail attachment (or to having problems opening
the zipped file cuz of not having an "unzipper"!).
I broadcast my (and the requestors') woes on the Methosscrolls List
. . . and the wonderful writer, fiction library archivist, and Super Techie
RACHEL TRENCH in the UK...who was at WORK! <g> came through for
me and everyone else who ever wanted this video sitting in a shortcut
on their desktop. I sent the video to Rachel Monday, 11:12 pm my time
(and 9:12 am "England time") ... and 76 minutes later Rachel GOT IT!
Faster than blazes, Rachel had a webpage set up on Angelfire just for
"Jimmy." It's called, oddly enough, "Welcome to the Jimmy Scene page."
And here is where our most famous Highlander Scene "lives" now:
www.angelfire.com/nj3/thefictionlibrary/jimmy.html
It took me only 17 minutes to download it from Rachel's Jimmy page,
unzipped instantly to my C:\All New Downloads folder, and just a
click later it was playing in Windows MediaPlayer 7.0, but I imagine
it will play just fine in whatever your own default .avi/movie player is.
Good luck and enjoy. And deepest thanks and warmest regards to
the wondrous Rachel Trench whom many of you know from lots of
good lists and her fiction and her library (Athers Fiction Library).

Hello, everyone!
