Pete whoever you are -- Periscope works just fine on a computer. You were 
probably fooled by the links to download apps for iOS or Android. Just click 
the damn play button. That said, don't expect full-screen fidelity on a large 
screen. The video was sent in real time to Periscope from an iPhone. I have no 
way of knowing how large a file Periscope archives, but it certainly wouldn't 
be the several hundred megabytes a high-res video of that length would require.

It would be nice if someone who can figure out how would make a permanent 
archive in .mp4 format of all these talks so we wouldn't have to rely on 
Periscope, which might or might not be around as long as the .mp4 format lasts. 
They could be placed, as files of reasonable length, on some Texas caving 
organization's web site and kept on disk in the TSS archives. Failing that, at 
least some popular Texas caving website should maintain a catalog of them with 
links to Periscope version. Or of course both could be done. -- Mixon
