Not pointless at all!
Please! Find someone who can copy the tape (or the relevant portion) into mpeg or a similar digital format (Quicktime, RealVideo, etc.) -- do so before the tape really does fall apart. You've got history there!

Here's a bit of pointless nostalgia...I found an ancient VHS tape that
had a computer show on it from early '82. This particular show had a segment
about Smalltalk-80, including an interview with Adele Goldberg.
I put some rather muddy screenshots of the system they were demoing up
on http://kgf.swiki.net/10
I'm not sure what machine this is...they never said if it was an Alto or
something else. I really like that paint program they were using, though!
(My apologies about the muddy look of the screen grabs...this tape is
almost 2 decades old, recorded on a long dead "original" VHS machine..I'm
pretty sure if I rewound it all the way the tape would come loose from the
reel.)
