I'm not so sure the feather/hammer clip is on the Cinema Classics, unless Ztek added
it after they took over the marketing of the set from AAPT.  I got my set before Ztek
got their mitts on it and jack up the price, and I love the things.  It's so handy to
not have to fast forward to find a 10 or 15 second demo clip.  Something else that's
kind of a benefit for me is that not many teachers in my school use video discs at
all; this allows me to pretty much have the player to myself!  Lucky me.

It would be pretty nice if that clip were on the discs.  It would seem to be a
natural for such a collection.
