Re: [GSAS-Member] Ghazanfar's Cryptocoryne talk archive - now available

I'll just add that depending on the speed of your connection, it can take 
a looong time for it to download.

Offer is still good to sneakernet the data at a meeting.  But you'll need 
a flash drive to copy it onto.

Finally, you will need to have a player installed to play the .mp4 file. 
If 
you have Quicktime, that should be fine.  There's also a great free 
universal player at http://www.videolan.org/vlc that has mp4 support.
