You asked me whether or not our new "Pro-Sumer" field production equipment can download directly into e-mail. The answer is yes and no. The camera has a feature that will enable us to play back still pictures into e-mail or file storage. We do not, however, have technology that will enable us to download moving video straight from the camera into a computer. As far as we know, you still need to encode video for computer applications. Now that we know that's something you're interested in doing, we'll keep our eye on the technology and let you know when it has been developed. I talked with Mary about the ideas I presented to you, but have not yet talked with Mark Palmer. I'm planning to send him an e-mail this afternoon. I forgot to mention one thing to you about the "creative piggybacking" money-saving idea: using a contractor to coordinate/piggyback video shoots is exactly what Microsoft does. When we interviewed Steve Ballmer in January, we went to Microsoft's facilities and used Microsoft's crew. Then they invoiced us for a whopping $1800.00 (for fewer than 15 minutes of shooting time). Steve, I hope that as your thoughts progress about Enron's video needs, you'll consider me to be part of the team. I would like to help develop and be a part of the solutions. Beth Stier
