Many of you have sent me private messages on how to download clips from the internet.
I've had to do some research myself. I just Googled it and here are the two best solutions I have found:
Free: If you use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer you can download videos using a plug in at:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2390
For $20 you can do it even easier (many members told me this) at:
http://nuclear-coffee.com/php/products.php
Both links are now listed under "Friends" for future use.
You have to keep in mind that a lot of the content is copyrighted, just because it is on the internet doesn't mean it is copyright free.

In her later years, Calamity Jane appeared in Wild West shows, including the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show, around the country, featuring her riding and shooting skills. But her chronic drunkenness and fighting caused many problems, and after she was fired in 1901 from a show, she retired to Deadwood, where she died of pneumonia.
they forgot to mention that in the Doris Day movie.
