Please excuse the top post, bujt you're the right guy to ask,
polyt. mp3/audio files I can get. you sent me a website to get
mp3's off youtube. it is probably patry my ubuntu linux and gnome,
but is there a "canned" website that will grab a video? somebody
has a Lot of westerns and I'd like to grab a couple.
we can get 70 billion channels with barf comcast, but I dont see
any of these old/old/old movies. [ several zillion tx. ]
gary
ps: yeah, I KNOW they are ===mostly=== mythic. but sometimes I
just need to take a bleeping break. and so far, nothingg works.
