Kathmandu database
Randolph Wang
This is good!
I see there's currently a total of 74 videos in the Kathmandu
database. That's good! Keep up the pace!
And as I said, make certain that you have three copies of the database
(the "Postmanet" folder). At least one of the three disks should be
physically stashed separately---can't be in the same room as the two
other copies.
