Hi all,
        What a great idea! If there is someone out there coming to the
Auction with the equipment and knowhow you are welcome to send
A live video feed on-line or whatever other on-line "updating" you can to
do.
        Sorry I do not have the time, equipment OR knowhow to make
Such a thing happen, but I think it would be great.
        Michael
PS: If someone is going to do this, please let me know and I will advertize
How people not there can share in the fun.
