How long is the video?

Any chance we might view it at the next NPR meeting?

If you were to characterize in a few words the essential message,
what would that be? (e.g. IBM sees an opportunity to make money,
they want to poke a sharp stick in Microsoft's eye, they see Windows
falling on its face soon and want to be the heir apparent, they needed
something cross-platform and Linux was the only game in town worth
investing in)

Thanks! Doc
